Hariri said that the paths all should follow are those which had been followed before by Kamal Jumblat and assassinated former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri who worked to serve Lebanon”s interests.
Hizbulla”s arms was another discussed topic in the meeting. Hariri said that it is an issue for the National Dialogue Table.
From his part, Jumblat said that his party”s adopted "center position" between the opposition and the majority was taken because they will not follow any party or movement. Jumblat said that he has high respect for the alliances and principles "we have fought hard to uphold at Martyrs Square."
