(AhlulBayt News Agency) - Lebanese Health Minister Mohamad Jawad Khalifeh said on Wednesday Hezbollah and its allies have called for an urgent cabinet meeting to talk about the tribunal crisis. He said 11 Lebanese ministers are ready to quit the unity government if such a meeting is not held.
"If the cabinet fails to meet, it means there is no government and as such 11 ministers will tender their resignations this afternoon," Khalifeh said.
A total of 10 ministers represent Hezbollah and its allies in the 30-member Lebanese cabinet. In order for the government to collapse, the backing of more than one-third of the ministers is needed.
Former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri was killed along with more than 20 other people in a massive car bombing in Beirut on February 14, 2005.
