Haider said in an intervention via ‘Sputnik’ radio: ‘The reason behind our stance is our rejection of the previous decisions, and therefore we refuse to discuss any new decision related to decisions made on August 5 and 7.’

From the beginning of the session, there was a withdrawal by several ministers, including the Minister of Labor Mohamed Haider, the Minister of Health Rakan Nasser Al-Din, the Minister of Finance Yassin Jaber, the Minister of the Environment Tamara Al-Zein, and the Minister of Administrative Development Fadi Maki.
