Salam reportedly seeks dialogue with Hezbollah and Amal
Prime Minister-designate Nawaf Salam is sseking “direct communication channels” with Hezbollah and the Amal Movement and has been quoted as saying that he wants “a direct dialogue over all matters,” the pro-Hezbollah al-Akhbar newspaper reported on Thursday.
The two parties “do not intend to boycott Salam or his government, regardless of any agreements that might be reached,” the daily quoted informed sources as saying.
“We have moved from a boycott decision to dialogue, because everyone, including (President Joseph) Aoun and Salam know that a non-participation of Hezbollah and the Amal Movement would not only lead to a governmental crisis, but also to a governance crisis, something that the president and the PM-designate do not want,” al-Akhbar quoted prominent sources as saying.
The sources added that Salam is inclined to form a “techno-political government.”
