Halabi: Extension of military leadership’s mandate needs further discussion

In the wake of the cabinet session, Caretaker Minister of Education Abbas Al-Halabi read out the session’s decisions and announced the approval of all items on its agenda.

“The extension of the military leadership’s mandate needs further discussion, so that the matter does not become a challenge against any party. The military leadership must not be vacant, and the mission of the army commander must continue,” Al-Halabi added.
