国际英语新闻：Lebanese PM-designate reiterates to form government with all parties

BEIRUT, Jan. 28 (Xinhua) -- The Hezbollah-backed Lebanese Prime Minister designate Najib Mikati on Friday said the new government will include all sects and political parties.

Mikati told reporters at the conclusion of two days of consultations that after listening to the parliamentary blocs he found that "the views and denominators that combine parliamentary blocs, more than any points of difference."

He said he would brief President Michel Suleiman on the outcome of consultations on Saturday. Mikati added that he can not set a specific time to form a government.

On conditions set by the Future Movement led by caretaker Prime Minister Saad Hariri, Mikati said that they are "not impossible."

The Future Movement on Thursday asked Mikati clarify his stance on the Special Tribunal for Lebanon probing the murder of former Prime Minister Rafic Hariri in 2005. They asked Mikati not to stop Lebanon's contacts with the STL, to continue funding it and not withdraw the judges.

Mikati said that the new government must include all political parties and he will make every effort to get everyone involved.

Mikati was appointed PM on Tuesday after the Hezbollah-led opposition toppled Hariri's government because of a dispute over the STL.

The STL is expected to indict some Hezbollah members, which triggered the current crisis in Lebanon.
