Lebanese Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri held a mini-cabinet meeting with ministers representing Amal, Hezbollah, the Marada Movement and the Free Patriotic Movement (FPM) in Beirut on Monday, according to an Al-Jazeera correspondent in Beirut.

The paper quoted private sources in Beirut that the paper includes a large financial contribution from banks, including the imposition of taxes on them and insurance companies, the abolition of government councils, and reduce investment expenses, in addition to activating the tax obligation and prevent smuggling through legitimate crossings and the closure of illegal crossings.

Hariri 's economic paper also included proposals to solve the electricity crisis, approve the looted money recovery law and the law to protect corruption detectors, and cut the salaries of current ministers and MPs between 40% and 60%.

Lebanese officials told Reuters on Sunday that the reform package includes cutting the salaries of current and former presidents, ministers and deputies by 50 percent and the contribution of the central bank and Lebanese banks by about 5,000 billion Lebanese pounds (about $ 3.3 billion).

It also includes a plan to privatize the telecommunications sector and a comprehensive reform of the worn-out electricity sector, a crucial demand from foreign donors for the release of $ 11 billion.

Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblatt rejected the paper presented by Saad Hariri, telling Al Jazeera that some ministers in the government, including Gibran Bassil, should step down "and we cannot stay with them in the government."

"We call for parliamentary elections on the basis of a new electoral system," Jumblatt said, adding that Hezbollah must understand the anger of the street and stop its support for Gibran Bassil.
