Qaouq: Hezbollah-FPM dialogue only ray of hope in the country
[An Nahar] Senior Hezbollah official Sheikh Nabil Qaouq on Sunday warned that "the political crisis in Leb
...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
is deepening the financial-economic-social crisis, while there is a political camp that is still rejecting solutions and insisting on the policy of challenge and confrontation."

"They are betting on the weapon of foreign sanctions and are inciting to draw these sanctions against their partners in the country," Qaouq said.

"Lebanon does not bear a president who would come through the weapon of sanctions, seeing as we are not in the year 1982 and will not be and Lebanon’s interest lies in the presence of a president who would oversee understandings in order to rescue the country," Qaouq added, stressing that the new president "should not be a platform for settling political scores and threatening national unity."

"We in Hezbollah are searching for a solution and appropriate exits to save the country, whereas they are looking for continuing the confrontation and political battle," Qaouq went on to say.

As for the ongoing dialogue between Hezbollah and the Free Patriotic Movement
Despite its name a Christian party allied with Hizbullah, neither free nor particularly patriotic...
, the Hezbollah official said: "Amid this political deadlock and tension, the only ray of hope in the country is the dialogue between Hezbollah and the FPM."

"The core of this dialogue is the election of a president and it is continuing in a positive manner and is not awaiting any foreign movements," Qaouq added.
