BEIRUT, July 1 (Xinhua) -- Lebanese Christian opposition leader MP Michel Aoun said foreign intervention is preventing the formation of a new government in the country, local An-Nahar daily reported Tuesday.

    "Some international and regional players who had left the domestic game have returned again through the cabinet line-up," Aoun was hinting to the United States and Saudi Arabia whom he considered that they have left the game when Doha accord was reached in May.

    An agreement between Lebanese rival leaders was reached in the Qatari capital Doha on May 21 due to Qatari efforts and mediation to end the 18 month political deadlock in Lebanon.

    The agreement's first phase has guaranteed the election of President Michel Suleiman on May 25 following six months of presidential vacancy.

    The second phase which is the formation of a national unity government is still blocked due to the disagreement between Lebanese rival leaders on the cabinet line-up, and distribution of the key portfolios.
