Lebanese President Michel Aoun said Thursday he supported the creation of a government of experts to lead the country out of crisis and pledged to dedicate the rest of his term to ending a sectarian power-sharing system he called a “destructive disease.”
In a televised address, Aoun said previous governments dominated by political parties were stymied by divisions and had failed to meet the aspirations of the public.
