The Lebanese Forces welcomed Hizbullah's willingness for dialogue between the two parties and described the latest statement of a Hizbullah official in that regard as “positive and worth to be taken into consideration,” al-Joumhouria daily reported Friday.
“The latest statement of Hizbullah political council chief Ibrahim Amin al-Sayyed from Bkirki, as for the party's openness for dialogue with the LF and readiness to have a wider range of communication, is positive rhetoric that is worth to take into consideration,” an LF source told the daily on condition of anonymity.
However, the source went on to say: “But it is a pity that the points of conflict between the two are tremendous. But the will for convergence and openness are very welcome,” added the source.
After a meeting with Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi on Thursday, Amin al-Sayyed responded to a reporter's question about the potentials of dialogue between the two parties, he said: “The situation in Lebanon imposes some sort of communication which we hope it reaches a political extent. We are open to this matter.”

I respect the Lebanese Forces for welcoming hezbollah's willingness for endless dialogue sessions similar to the mustaqbal-hezbollah dialogue sessions despite their concerns regarding the policy statement and their objections to referring to the cabinet as the Aleppo cabinet.

Not communication but imposition of conditions with force of arms. Lebanon is besieged by Assad, Hizbollah and IS. Borders must be demarcated & monitored with UNIFIL help and technology (drones, balloons, electronic surveillance). Hizbollah’s arms are not only poison to Lebanon’s sovereignty & democracy, but also prevent Lebanon from regaining its historic role as the regional headquarter for multinational firms, and the regional “Silicon Valley”. Hizbollah is also breeding extremism in Lebanon, forcing the Shia community into a mold foreign to Lebanese culture and traditions, and preventing Lebanon from being the cradle of Arab democracy/intellectual hub that should have guided Arab Spring (and Syrian revolt) into a better outcome. Economic cost of Hizb arms is over $100 billion as Lebanon could have easily achieve 6% growth since 2006 instead of 0% growth. Lebanese Forces/M13 no longer represent the aspirations of the Cedar Revolution.
