Hizbullah had urged former Prime Minister Saad Hariri to return to Lebanon through diplomatic channels, al-Joumhouria newspaper reported on Tuesday.
According to the newspaper Hariri had received several calls to return to the country, not only from Speaker Nabih Berri, but from Hizbullah also.
However, the daily said that the Sunni leader is holding on to his decision to remain outside Lebanon over security fears.
The report pointed out that Hariri considers that the assassinations attempts in Lebanon hasn't reached an end yet.
Last week, local newspapers quoted Berri saying: “Hariri must return to Lebanon to facilitate the resumption of the dialogue so that we cooperate to face the current challenges.”
“I think Hariri can stay at the Center House if he has security fears,” the speaker said.
