Qatari ambassador meets with Hezbollah's Raad

Qatari Ambassador to Lebanon Sheikh Saud bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani met Monday with the head of Hezbollah’s parliamentary bloc, MP Mohammed Raad, the Qatari embassy said.

The talks tackled “the bilateral relations between the two countries and the general situations in Lebanon and the region,” the embassy added in a post on the X platform.

A Qatari envoy visiting Lebanon, Abou Fahad Jassem Al-Thani, has recently met with Hezbollah secretary-general’s political aide Hussein Khalil. The Hezbollah official reportedly reiterated to the Qatari envoy that Hezbollah is still clinging to Suleiman Franjieh’s nomination.

Al-Thani meanwhile told Khalil that Doha is not clinging to the nomination of Army chief Joseph Aoun, proposing three other candidates -- General Security acting chief Elias Bayssari, MP Neemat Frem and ex-minister Ziad Baroud, the reports said.
