Information Minister George Kordahi “will not resign” and “this stance has not changed,” sources close to him said on Thursday, shortly after Prime Minister Najib Miqati reiterated his call for the minister to step down.
“Kordahi is waiting for a phone call from the premier, who should invite him to a meeting and brief him on the stances that he heard from the Arab and foreign officials” at the climate summit in Glasgow, the sources added.
The minister wants to “know whether resignation has guarantees that such a step would be met by positivity from the Gulf, because any resignation that would not change the Gulf stance on Lebanon would be meaningless,” the sources went on to say.
