DOHA, May 18, SPA -- Lebanese leaders made someprogress on the third day of talks in Qatar on Sunday, Reuters reported. Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jabral-Thani held intensive meetings with leaders of the ruling coalition and the opposition to try to end a crisis that has paralyzed the government for 18 months and left Lebanon with no president since November. But Sheikh Hamad had yet to win final approval from bothsides on one of the prickliest issues on the agenda -- the shapeof a new government, delegates said. The Qatari leader's latestproposal suggested dividing cabinet seats three ways equally --a third for each side and a third for the new president. Delegates said the opposition had agreed to the proposal butthe ruling coalition was still waiting for agreement on otherissues before giving a final answer. A six-member committee created on Saturday to lay theframework for a new election law made progress early on but waslater stuck on how to divide Beirut electorally.--SPA www.spa.gov.sa/556934
