On November 11, 2006, all five pro-Syrian Shiite members of the Lebanese Cabinet stepped down amid disagreement over a proposed UN tribunal prosecuting the assassins of the late Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. Ten days later the adamant anti-Syrian Minister of Industry was mysteriously killed, nearly forcing the collapse of the government. Now, more than a year later, the remaining members must overcome their vast cultural and political differences to deal with progressively more violent Palestinian refugees, increased ethnic factionalism, regional instability, widespread corruption, and the attempts of the Hezbollah-led National Unity coalition to oust the current cabinet.
