Free Patriotic Movement chief and Foreign Minister Jebran Bassil has met with Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah to discuss the fallout from Prime Minister Saad Hariri's shock resignation, media reports said.
The meeting, which was held on Monday, lasted “five hours,” al-Jadeed television reported.
According to OTV, the two leaders discussed the current developments and voiced “utter keenness on stability, unity and coordination among all forces.”
Hariri stunned the Lebanese with his resignation on Saturday in a televised speech from Saudi Arabia.
In the haltingly delivered address, he accused Iran of meddling in Arab affairs and Iran-backed Hizbullah of holding Lebanon hostage.
Nasrallah speculated on Sunday that Saudi Arabia had forced Hariri to resign amid the deepening Saudi-Iran rivalry.
