Saudi Arabia could mediate in Lebanon crisis: Hezbollah

By: Karim Tellawi

BEIRUT, Lebanon: Lebanon's Hezbollah headed by Hasan Nasrollah believes Saudi Arabia could mediate in the country's political crisis.

Mohammed Fneish, energy minister in Prime Minister Fuad Siniora's government before he and five other ministers resigned in November, told As-Safir newspaper Friday that he and Hezbollah number two Sheikh Naim Kassem met King Abdullah in Saudi Arabia at the end of December.

"Saudi Arabia can play the role of mediator between the Lebanese, especially since it says it is impartial as regards the protagonists," Fneish told the daily As-Safir.

He and Kassem were granted an audience with the king in the kingdom's Red Sea port city of Jeddah last month.

"The Jeddah meeting was positive, especially on rapprochement between the kingdom and Hezbollah," Fneish was quoted as saying, adding that the encounter was "the first of its kind" between a Saudi monarch and his party.

"Saudi Arabia can use its influence to end all discord" between Sunni Muslims and Shiites, he said.


Israel eventually admits Hezbollah victory

TEL AVIV: Israel-Lebanon war’s most significant result is a change to the balance of fear in the Middle East, and this is why Israel has been resisting the fact that its army got defeated by Hezbollah in the war.
