CWN Editor's Note: Maronite Catholic Patriarch Bechara Boutros Rai, who has been sounding the alarm for months about the deteriorating conditions in Lebanon during a political crisis, has welcomed the formation of a new government after 13 months of negotiations. The Lebanese prelate voiced his hope that the leadership of Prime Minister Najib Mikati could revive the country’s economic and social prospects.
