Beirut, Safar 09, 1432 / Jan. 13, 2011, SPA -- Lebanese President Michel Suleiman will start consultations with various parliamentary blocs Monday to name a new prime minister after the collapse of the current government following the resignation of Hezbollah ministers and their allies, dpa reported. Following his meeting with Suleiman, House speaker Nabih Berri said "the consultations to name a prime minister will start on Monday." Lebanon's unity government collapsed Wednesday after Hezbollah and its allies pulled their 10 ministers from cabinet and one minister close to Suleiman announced his withdrawal, stripping the government of a third of its members. -- SPA 22:59 LOCAL TIME 19:59 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/855415
