FPM MP says Bassil might soon meet Nasrallah

Free patriotic Movement chief Jebran Bassil might meet soon with Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, an FPM MP said.

MP Ghassan Atallah mentioned a probable meeting between the two leaders, in a TV program broadcast by al-Jadeed on Tuesday night.

"I don't think that the Shiite Duo will accept (Army chief Gen.) Joseph Aoun as a president," Atallah said, adding that the FPM wants a president "who can engage in a dialogue with the foreign countries" and "who isn't confrontational to Hezbollah."

"We are seeking a consensual president, other than Gen. Aoun and al-Marada leader Suleiman Franjieh," the lawmaker went on to say.
