BEIRUT: Interior Minister Nouhad Machnouk said Monday the new round of discussions between Hezbollah and the Future Movement will be more complex than the four previous dialogue sessions.
“The upcoming dialogue session with Hezbollah is going to be difficult after [Hezbollah leader] Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah’s latest speech,” Machnouk told local daily As-Safir.
He said the Future delegation will "frankly express its opinion" on Nasrallah’s speech during the talks, which are expected to resume this week.
Machnouk, however, stressed that dialogue would continue despite the difficulties.
Top officials from Hezbollah and the Future Movement have met on four separate occasions since Dec. 27 in a bid to ease sectarian tensions.
Machnouk said a campaign to remove flags and signs of political parties in various areas of Beirut, Sidon and Tripoli as well as the coastal highways will kick off this week.
