Hizbullah's Unprecedented Openness to Clear Party's Image

Hizbullah politburo member Hajj Mahmoud Qmati stressed on Thursday that the party recently adopted an openness strategy towards its rivals to rectify Hizbullah's image and clarify its policies.

“The party's policy is to open up to everyone as it is certain that its national program fits all parties,” Qmati said in comments published in al-Joumhouria newspaper.

He stressed that Hizbullah is seeking to clarify its stances and end the distortion and misleading information surrounding it.

Qmati accused some media outlets, without naming them, of exerting efforts to tarnish the party's image.

Hizbullah kickstarted in December dialogue with al-Mustaqbal Movement under the auspices of Speaker Nabih Berri in Ain el-Tineh.

The talks mainly aim at defusing the tension between Shiites and Sunnis.
