BBC NEWS | Middle East | Lebanon PM postpones resignation: "Rift denial
Mr Karami made the surprise announcement that he would resign after a meeting with President Emile Lahoud - who stands at the centre of the row about Syria's influence over Lebanon.
'I have informed Mr Lahoud that I am preparing to announce my decision to stand down because of the impossibility of forming a government of national unity,' he said.
'But I will do so only within the next 48 hours so as to consult with my allies' he told reporters.
He denied any rift with Mr Lahoud over the latter's reported wavering on a commitment to form a broad-based government.
'We are in the same camp,' Mr Karami stressed."
