Nasrallah: Frankness Needed with FPM, Hizbullah Ready to Improve MoU
Hizbullah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah announced Monday that his party is ready to “improve” its 2006 memorandum of understanding with the Free Patriotic Movement, its main Christian ally, a day after FPM chief Jebran Bassil criticized Hizbullah over its alignment with Speaker Nabih Berri in several key issues.
“We stress the importance of dialogue among the Lebanese and the importance of any invitation for dialogue among the Lebanese,” Nasrallah said in a televised speech commemorating slain Iranian general Qassem Soleimani, in response to President Michel Aoun’s latest call for national dialogue.
“As for everything that has been mentioned and written about Hizbullah's relation with the FPM, I note that we are very keen on our allies and relation,” Nasrallah added.
“We're keen on the understanding (with the FPM) and we're ready to improve it in a manner that achieves the national interest,” Nasrallah emphasized.
He also noted that what was said by Aoun and Bassil over the past days are “issues that require frankness and clarifications.”
Hizbullah’s leader also said that he will extensively address the domestic situations in another televised address in the coming days.
