None

Lebanon's opposition, including Iranian-backed Hezbollah, agreed on Friday to join a national unity government proposed by Prime Minister-designate Saad al-Hariri, a senior opposition source said.

 

"The Lebanese opposition has approved the proposed unity government," the source told Reuters after opposition leaders held a late-night meeting. The source said the opposition would officially inform Hariri of its decision on Saturday and expected the new government to be formed in the coming two days. Hariri's spokesman was not immediately available to comment on the report. (Reuters)
