Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri and his 30-member Government won the Parliament’s vote of confidence with the majority of 121 votes out of 128 despite the reservation of the March 14’s Christians.

The sixth and final session of debate on a vote of confidence resumed Thursday evening. After consulting PM Hariri in the morning session, Speaker Nabih Berri said: “The night will extend till its end,” signaling the session would remain open till MPs finish their debates and vote on confidence in government.

Because Lebanon’s new government backs the resistance’s right to keep its arms, it won the support of 121 “with reservation” of some. While in Lebanese constitution there is nothing called vote of confidence “with reservation”, the March 14’s Christians insisted on registering such stance because the policy statement’s sixth clause gives the Lebanese people, army and its resistance the right to defend the country.
