Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri has called for a national salvation government in which parties from across the political spectrum would take part.


In remarks to As-Safir Lebanese daily Berri said "A national salvation cabinet in which everyone takes part without exception should assume its national responsibilities in confronting fateful challenges."


Berri circles told An Nahar newspaper that his AMAL movement and Hizbullah agreed not to confront Al Mustaqbal movement supporters on the streets, stressing that the Lebanese army should deal with the situation. 


The speaker wondered why all the tumult by the March 14 forces over Najib Mikati. "What would have happened if we kept (our stance in) nominating Omar Karami?" 


He explained that Mikati will officially work on forming a national salvation government rather than a national unity government after the Future movement and March 14 campaign announced their boycott to participating in any government not headed by Hariri.
