Opposition awaits Bassil reply, Hezbollah seeks to sway him on Franjieh
Presidential negotiations between the opposition and Free Patriotic Movement chief Jebran Bassil are “temporarily frozen,” media reports said.
“The opposition forces are awaiting Bassil’s response, after they proposed a number of presidential candidates,” the Nidaa al-Watan newspaper reported.
“Hezbollah is meanwhile trying to convince its strategic ally, Bassil, of the importance of endorsing Franjieh in return for getting the needed gains,” the daily added.
