| Beirut- Hezbollah's decision to dispatch the head of its politburo Sheikh Ibrahim Amin al-Sayyed, as the official representative of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, to the funeral of slain Druze official Saleh Aridi was seen as a step toward reconciliation between Hezbollah and MP Walid Jumblat's Progressive Socialist Party. The daily As Safir on Saturday, citing well-informed sources, said both sides have expressed their desire to "upgrade the present security coordination formula" between Hezbollah 's Wafiq Safa and PSP's Akram Shehayeb. It said serious backstage efforts continue in this regard between Hezbollah and Mustaqbal ( Future) Movement in a bid to achieve reconciliation. The sources said there is a "real chance to achieve a breakthrough" in this regard. Today Sheikh Naim Kassem, deputy of Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said: The Future movement did not make its political decision yet about a meeting between Nasrallah and Hariri . Such a meeting could resolve 90 % of the problems and the remaining 10 % could be resolved through dialogue" Hezbollah arms remain the key issue for the ruling majority. Prime Minister Fouad Siniora said national dialogue meetings will be held under the title of "the defense strategy." |
