Hezbollah officials, Maronite League head urge end to presidential void
Hezbollah’s “Christian relations” official Mohammed Saeed al-Khansa and Hezbollah official Abdullah Zaiour met Thursday with Maronite League chief Khalil Karam at the League’s headquarters.
Congratulating Karam over his election as the new head of the League and offering Christmas and New Year greetings, the two Hezbollah officials held a lengthy discussion with Karam over the situation in Lebanon.
And in a statement, the two parties stressed “the need to fill the presidential vacuum and elect a president,” while agreeing to “work for the sake of quickly returning the displaced Syrians to their country after the situations stabilized there.”
There was also “mutual keenness on rejecting all naturalization schemes, addressing the economic crisis and curbing the emigration of Lebanese youths.”
The two parties also agreed to maintain communication between each other.
