The outgoing and incoming governments are blaming the caretaker convention for keeping tight-lipped about the situation in the Middle East. 听
The convention applies when an outgoing administration is preparing to make way for an incoming one. 听

Miller says we're waiting for formation of a new government for a fuller response.听
