over remarks he voiced about the controversial issue of representing the so-called independent Sunni MPs in the new government.

"The ball is in the court of the obstructors and the party responsible for obstruction is known by all Lebanese," the sources told LBCI television.

"The PM-designate abides by the constitution and will not turn the formation process into an arena for obstacles... He has accomplished his mission of ironing out the hurdles and others must stop recycling obstacles," the sources added.

Qassem had earlier announced that "the ball is in the court of the PM-designate."

"He has the ability to iron out the obstacles and reach a reasonable and appropriate solution in order to represent the Consultative Gathering," Hizbullah number two added.

MP Wael Abu Faour of the Progressive Socialist Party meanwhile told LBCI that "an expected Russian initiative towards Leb may reactivate the stalled cabinet formation process."

Abu Faour was in Moscow on Wednesday along with MP Taymour Jumblat, the head of the PSP-led Democratic Gathering bloc.
