The Arab League secretary General Amr Moussa said that the talks went smoothly between Lebanon's parliament majority and the opposition but failed to reach agreement on ending the crises . There was also no agreement on another meeting. Moussa told reporters after the meeting ended that intends to leave today.

Moussa said there is still consensus on the election of Gen. Michel Suleiman as the president but the disagreement is on the formation of the new government following the elections . Moussa said” the time has come to elect a president of the Republic of Lebanon . It is important that the Lebanese president shoud attend the summit in Damascus , since Lebanon is an essential member of the Arab League”

He said we will try to meet again but no time was set for such an agreement. Moussa pleaded with the Lebanese leaders not to escalate the violence . Moussa said the majority has agreed to give the opposition one third of the ministry positions but disagreed to give it a veto power .
