Hezbollah arms 'dialogue mechanism' to be activated after Easter amid optimism
The dialogue proposed by President Joseph Aoun over the issue of Hezbollah’s arms does not involve holding national dialogue sessions in the vein of those that were held in the past, a media report said.
“There will be a specific mechanism for dialogue between Hezbollah and Presiden Aoun, with participation and full coordination from Speaker Nabih Berri and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam,” al-Joumhouria newspaper reported on Monday.
“This mechanism will be more effective and practical than a broad dialogue conference that would be strongly opposed by some sides,” the daily added, quoting informed sources as saying that “this course enjoys support from Hezbollah as well as from its rivals.”
“This mechanism will be activated after the holidays,” the sources added, expressing optimism over a possible “calm solution for the weapons file that would be based on realism and understanding by the two sides -- the state and Hezbollah -- based on the two sides’ awareness of the dangers of the current period in Lebanon and the region.”
