Druze leader Walid Jumblat said he favors a 13+10+7 government under the new president, provided that both political camps offer guarantees. This cabinet shape-up was proposed a while ago by Arab League chief Amr Moussa in which the majority gets 13 ministers, the opposition 10 and seven members loyal to the president. "I agree to the formation of a national unity government based on 13+10+7 with mutual guarantees," Jumblat said in remarks published by the daily As Safir on Thursday. Jumblat also said he approves the qada-based 1960 electoral law. "I'm also in favor of adopting the qada-based election law with some improvement," he said. Jumblat said the ruling March 14 alliance has no intention of electing a president by simple majority. "I reject any move that could drag the country into sectarian strife and inflict massive destruction," Jumblat concluded.
