| 2012-02-21 |
| A delegation from Hizbullah held talks on Monday with Sunni Grand Mufti Sheikh Mohammed Rashid Qabbani on the various local and regional developments. The Mufti stressed after the talks the need to "fortify Leb against the developments in the region." The delegation included Sheikh Abdul Majid Ammar and former MPs Amin Sherri and Mohammed Saleh. Qabbani stressed the importance of dialogue to resolve disputes, in addition to Islamic and national unity to thwart strife. "All sides should adhere to the state and its institutions and ease the concerns of all parties," he noted. "Wise political rhetoric should be adopted because it will reflect positively on the people and alleviate sectarian tensions," he continued. For his part, Ammar reiterated the Mufti's statements that Leb should be fortified against the developments in the region. "We were in agreement on the need to bolster Islamic and national unity to confront all challenges." "We should therefore cooperate in order to support security and stability in Leb to allow it to avert the repercussions of the regional developments," he remarked. "We don't consider Leb to be an open ground for foreign powers," he said. "Hizbullah seeks to maintain contact with all sides ... and we do not fear the eruption of Sunni-Shiite strife," added Ammar. |
