BEIRUT — Prime Minister-designate Nawaf Salam and a delegation representing the Amal Movement and Hezbollah met on Sunday afternoon for the second time in 24 hours, according to local TV channel Al Jadeed.
Hezbollah and the Amal Movement boycotted the non-binding parliamentary consultations led by Salam to form a new government, protesting alleged external pressures that led to Salam's designation as the new premier.
Salam eventually met with Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, the leader of Amal, who described the meeting as "promising," hinting that a government could soon be formed with the participation of the two parties.
