Alleged Rapprochement between Aoun and Hariri after Asiri's Visit
Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun and al-Mustaqbal movement chief ex-PM Saad Hariri have recently had “indirect contacts,” FPM sources confirmed on Saturday.
The sources also confirmed reports about ties between Rabieh and al-Mustaqbal parliamentary bloc chief MP Fouad Saniora.
The development in the relations between the foes came in the aftermath of a visit that Saudi Ambassador Ali Awadh Asiri made to Aoun earlier in the month, they said.
The reported rapprochement included talks about a possible visit by Aoun to Paris for a meeting with Hariri, the sources told al-Akhbar daily. But sources close to the former premier denied such a move.
Despite the denial, Aoun's sources stressed that any contact between the two parties would not come at the expense of the FPM chief's ties with Hizbullah.
Aoun has informed the Hizbullah leadership about the alleged rapprochement with al-Mustaqbal and Saudi Arabia, the sources said.
