BEIRUT: The Cabinet will most likely reject the Iranian aid pledged to the Lebanese Army, Defense Minister Samir Moqbel said in a televised interview Monday.
According to Moqbel, the aid would be rejected if only one minister opposes the donation. Moqbel also said that even though a number of ministers oppose the move, the Lebanese Army still requires the aid.
The Cabinet will delay issuing a decision concerning Iranian aid pledged to the Lebanese Army to next week, Moqbel said, highlighting that the abundance of files the government has to deal with will prevent ministers from discussing the issue.
If the Cabinet approves the aid then Lebanon will discuss the issue with the Security Council, he said.
