BEIRUT - Tensions between Hezbollah’s two main Christian allies flared on Tuesday when one said the other’s “greed” was to blame for holding up the formation of a new Lebanese government that is urgently needed to address a major economic crisis.
The heavily indebted country has been without effective government since Saad al-Hariri quit as premier in October due to protests against state corruption and poor governance - the root causes of Lebanon’s worst crisis since a 1975-90 civil war. Political sources say the main sticking point has been over the number of seats sought by Bassil, who heads the Free Patriotic Movement and is the son-in-law of President Aoun. Bassil has been at the heart of efforts to broker the formation of a new government.
