Lebanon's opposition has agreed to a proposed government line-up, Hezbollah said on Saturday, paving the way to the end of five months of tortuous negotiations following a June general election.
Hezbollah said in a statement that its leadership, including the head of the party Hassan Nasrallah, met late on Friday and agreed to join the national unity government proposed by prime minister-designate Saad Hariri. "Those who took part in the meeting agreed to join a national unity government based on the agreements reached during negotiations...We hope that this step will be beneficial for Lebanon and its people," the statement said.
