BEIRUT — The caretaker cabinet session, scheduled for today at the Grand Serail, was postponed until tomorrow due to the lack of a quorum, amid disarray in the country following the mass detonation of communication devices used by Hezbollah members over the last two days.
The cabinet session was dedicated to resuming the discussion over the 2025 draft general-budget proposal.
The session now is scheduled to occur on Friday at 3 p.m.
On Sept. 9, a cabinet session to discuss the Finance Ministry's budget proposal was then canceled due to lack of quorum as retired Lebanese army soldiers blocked the roads to the Serail to demand an increase in their pensions.
