There will be a new attempt to convene a Cabinet session once Prime Minister Najib Miqati returns from Scotland, in which a “major official apology” will be made to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, informed political sources said.

In remarks to Kuwait’s al-Anbaa newspaper published Wednesday, the sources said the diplomatic crisis sparked by Information Minister George Kordahi’s remarks has “surpassed Kordahi to affect the entire Lebanese situation.”

“President Michel Aoun and Speaker Nabih Berri have agreed to this exit, but the approval of Hizbullah and Marada chief Suleiman Franjieh remains pending,” the sources added.
