Hezbollah delegation meets Aoun after tensions
A delegation from Hezbollah’s parliamentary bloc comprising MPs Mohammad Raad, Ali Ammar and Hassan Fadlallah on Thursday met with former president Michel Aoun in Rabieh.
The talks tackled the situations in the south and the domestic situations.
“The communication between us and Mr. President, General Michel Aoun, is constant and continuous. It was not severed in the past and will never be severed,” Raad said after the meeting.
“This communication brings reassurance and tranquility to the spirits of the Lebanese, regardless of their regions and sects, in light of the history of coexistence and real partnership between us in addressing the national issues,” Raad added.
“This visit was an opportunity to put Mr. President in the picture of the delicate military situations (in the south) away from the exchanges of tirades from here or there. We have expressed what can boost national unity in the face of the Zionist enemy, which is carrying a genocide today in Gaza,” the lawmaker went on to say.
“As for our Lebanese situation, we are required to show good intentions and insist on responsible exchanges between all groups and those concerned with the affairs of this country, in order to resolve the main problems that we are suffering from,” Raad said.
Aoun and his son-in-law, Free Patriotic Movement chief Jebran Bassil, had recently criticized Hezbollah's activation of the southern front against Israel in support of the Palestinians in Gaza. Relations between the two parties were already strained by differences over the presidential file and the caretaker Cabinet.
