Here are the main points of the new Lebanese political agreement. The factions agree to:
- Convene parliament to elect Army chief General Michel Sulaiman as Lebanese president.
- Form a 30-member national unity cabinet including the ruling coalition and the opposition. The opposition will have veto power over major decisions.
- Scrap the current electoral law and adopt legislation that divides country into smaller districts in an effort to better represent various sects.
- Not use weapons or violence to achieve political gains.
- After the election of a president and the formation of cabinet, launch a dialogue, overseen by the president, on boosting state authority over the entire country and outlining the relationship between the state and various armed organisations to guarantee security.
- Refrain from political, religious and sectarian incitement.
