Beirut  - The pro-Syrian Shiite movement Hezbollah Wednesday blamed Prime Minister-designate Fouad Seniora for "non-justified" delay in efforts to form the new cabinet.

The party's stand was outlined in a statement by its parliamentary bloc after a meeting under its chairman Mohammed Raad.

"It is the duty of the premier-designate to speed up efforts to form the cabinet," it stressed.

The statement also called for the speedy adoption of the election law approved in Doha.

Newly elected president Michel Suleiman appointed Seniora on May 28 to form a national unity cabinet, but so far all attempts has failed due to deep differences between the anti-Syrian ruling majority and pro-Syrian camp headed by Hezbollah.

Christian anti-Syrian leader Samir Geagea called on president Suleiman to sponsor a national dialogue to tackle the deteriorating security situation and charged that Michael Aoun, leader of the Christian Free Patriotic MOvement and a supporter of the Hezbollah-led opposition, was the main obstacle in forming a new cabinet.

"Aoun believes he is the sole representative of the Christians, and all Christian parties should adapt," Geagea said. (dpa)
