The premiership received on Saturday Minister Talal Arslan’s written resignation from cabinet, reported LB television.

President Michel Suleiman and Prime Minister Najib Miqati will discuss this issue on Monday.

The minister had announced his resignation soon after the formation of the new government on June 13.

He justified his decision by saying: “In line with my convictions, I announce to the Lebanese public my resignation from the government of the so-called Prime Minister Najib Miqati whom I am not honored to sit next to in cabinet.”

“Miqati is either trying to create a dispute between me and Free Patriotic Movement Party leader MP Michel Aoun, the Resistance, or PSP leader MP Walid Jumblat,” Arslan had declared.

In addition, he accused the premier of conspiring against national unity.

Its ok Amir Talal , dont cry please, you talked to Assad 1 week ago, he told you he will be sending some checks over to Lebanon to his loyal servants ( Michel Aoun, Abboud, Qanso, Berri, Jumblat ) that worked in fact very hard to provide him a syrian governement in Lebanon. So you have to understand ya Talal that a guy like you, with no principles , unlike your father, you will zip it, take the money because for your camp its honey, and shut the hell up for another 2-3 years.

Next: he will be joining the March 14 opposition...... Apparently, his base mainly in Choueifat want him to do so. This is the same base that was involved in May 7/8 in defending the mountains...........
