Lebanese Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri said on Friday that the Lebanese government was meeting on Saturday morning for the first time in weeks after the reconciliation of Druze politicians to end the political paralysis that hit the government.
Lebanese dollar-denominated government bonds rose earlier Friday after the announcement of a rally of country leaders aimed at reconciling Druze leaders Walid Jumblatt and Talal Arslan.
Hariri said in remarks broadcast on television: "Reconciliation has become, God willing, a new page from today and we all cooperate in the interest of the country and interests of the Lebanese citizen ".
Hariri was speaking after a meeting of senior Lebanese officials to discuss the country's economic situation.
He added that the two countries had agreed "to approve the 2020 budget on its constitutional dates and commit to strictly enforce the 2019 budget," which was approved last month.
A clash broke out between the Joumblatt and Arsalan parties, which turned into guns in Jebel Chouf on June 30, during which two collaborators of the government minister, Saleh al-Gharib, an ally of Arslan, were you are.
Given that both parties were represented in the Hariri government, the government was unable to meet, which complicated efforts to undertake the reforms needed to divert the country from the financial crisis.
Gharib said the shooting was an badbadination attempt and that his allies blamed Jumblatt's party.
Jumblatt's party said that "it was in response to a shootout triggered by accomplices of a stranger and wounding two supporters of Jumblatt".
Both parties were not in agreement on the choice of court.
However, Hariri said that the incident "is now in the hands of the military justice, which investigates his circumstances, on the basis of laws and regulations in force.
