إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
President Michel Suleiman's advisers and Hizbullah officials held contacts to ease the tension between the Baabda Palace and the party after they launched a war of words over the weekend.
According to An Nahar newspaper published on Monday, Suleiman's advisers and Hizbullah officials discussed the policy statement, without citing further details.
On Saturday, Hizbullah and President Michel Suleiman were at loggerheads over the president's recent statement concerning the cabinet's policy statement.
Suleiman said Friday that the land, people and common values formed the country's “permanent equation,” describing the people-army-resistance equation as “wooden” or outdated.
Hizbullah was quick to hit back at Suleiman, accusing him on Saturday of not being able to differentiate between “what's golden and what's wooden.”
The party said that Baabda Palace has come to require “special care."
Suleiman replied via twitter saying that what Baabda Palace needs is acknowledging the unanimous consensus over the Baabda Declaration that was reached inside its premises.

Who gives a damn what HA is fine with? They have no rights and are not elected to rule the country. They have caused all of our problems and need to be sent to Iran where they belong.

Some idiots including Aoun, Berri and their followers believe they have every right... the only problem is they they don't know right from left !
They believe in an illusion which has consumed their entire perception of reality!
Suleiman should not talk to Hezbollah. He should dismiss them as the arrogant terrorist party that they are !
