Hezbollah welcomes PM Hariri's 'positive' statements
Lebanon's Hezbollah bloc in parliament says Prime Minister Saad Hariri's return to the country and "positive remarks" are "promising," and sends a signal that matters "can return to normal."
The comments Thursday were the first by the group since Hariri returned to Lebanon after nearly a three-week absence.
Hariri, who shocked the nation with his Nov. 4 announcement from Saudi Arabia that he was resigning, said Wednesday he was suspending his resignation, hoping a serious dialogue can follow. Hariri's resignation was widely viewed as being forced by Saudi Arabia, Hariri's backer, bringing its feud with the Iranian-backed Hezbollah to the tiny country.
Hassan Fadallah, a Hezbollah lawmaker, said Hariri's statements can be built on to find "appropriate" solutions.
In his resignation statement, Hariri said he was protesting Hezbollah's meddling in Arab affairs
