Industry Minister Hussein al-Hajj Hassan of Hizbullah has noted that “Lebanon has entered a new phase and a new course,” urging “some parties” not to “aggravate the crisis,” in an apparent reference to Hizbullah's ally the Free Patriotic Movement.
Hajj Hassan also called on al-Mustaqbal Movement not to “turn its back” to the other parties in the country.
The situation requires Mustaqbal to “liberate itself from the grip of the dominating Saudi decision that is vetoing solutions in the region, including in Lebanon,” the minister added.
“Lebanon needs real, purposeful, profound, constructive, responsible and honest dialogue, not dialogue aimed at passing time,” Hajj Hassan stressed.
