It was stated in Al-Markazia:
As for the Cabinet session that was scheduled for today, the issue of postponing the dismissal of Army Commander General Joseph Aoun for six months was postponed from outside its agenda, so caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati postponed it until next Tuesday morning, paving the way for the Parliament to approve the extension law proposal. To the leader in his followingnoon session, Maarab circles told Al-Markazia: Regardless of the circumstances that dictated the postponement of the session, the inability of some ministers to reach the Grand Serail due to the sit-in carried out by retired military personnel in the vicinity, or the unwillingness of others to attend, prevented a quorum from being secured. Mikati was unable to confront the triple pressures exerted on him from Bkerke, Maarab and abroad, so he decided to wait for the end of the legislative session to build in light of its appropriate results.
She said that it was not easy for Mikati to bear the burden of the repercussions of what was planned to overthrow the army commander following the chapters of the game were revealed to Lebanese public opinion, and he had no choice but to postpone the session.
She added: What happened at the government level is very important, but what is more important today remains in the Parliament following the ball is in the court of Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, who promised to put forward a proposal to postpone the dismissal in isolation from the government. So what is the situation when the Council of Ministers has not met? She continued: President Berri has a utmost interest in getting the extension out of Parliament, so as not to enter into a confrontational confrontation with Christian public opinion in particular and Lebanese in general, and because there is no excuse for not approving the law, which in any case is not far from this approach.
