Future bloc slams Hezbollah ahead of dialogue



BEIRUT: The Future Movement bloc underlined in a statement Tuesday that holding direct dialogue with Hezbollah for the sake of easing tensions does not mean forgetting all the disputes and points of disagreements.


“The bloc considers the initiative that former Prime Minister Saad Hariri ... might ease the frustration and pave the way for discussing an agreement on the election of a new president,” the MPs said after their regular meeting, which was headed this time by MP Samir Jisr.


However, the bloc stressed that despite the importance dialogue, the party did not give up any of its political stances concerning Hezbollah.


The statement mentioned in particular the dispute over “the role of Hezbollah and its illegitimate weapons in many Lebanese areas and outside Lebanon, and especially in Syria where it participates in the fighting alongside the Syria’s regime against its people.”


The bloc also slammed Hezbollah over accomplishing a swap deal with the kidnappers of one of its fighters, while allegedly preventing the government from ending the 26 captive servicemen crisis by waging “random media campaigns.”


Hezbollah’s behavior, the statement said, undermines the Cabinet’s ability to function properl.
