Saniora Praises Mustaqbal-Hizbullah Rapprochement
Premier Fouad Saniora on Thursday praised a rapprochement between Mustaqbal Movement and Hizbullah hoping it would lead to "tangible procedures regulating the political activity."
Such procedures, according to Saniora, should start with removing provocative posters and banners from all of Lebanon.
Talking during the cabinet”s weekly session, Saniora expressed hope the reconciliatory spirit would be bolstered after the return of President Michel Suleiman from a visit to the United States.
He said Syria had informed Lebanon in advance of its military deployment off the northern Lebanese borders to combat smuggling.
Saniora said adoption of the election law by parliament would help regulate the nation”s political cycle.
Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri has called the house to a meeting on Saturday to tackle the election law bill.
