Lebanese PM meets Hezbollah chief
Lebanon’s Prime Minister Saad Hariri has met with Hezbollah Secretary General Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah for the second time in less than a year.
The Lebanese premier’s office said in a Tuesday statement that Hariri conferred with Nasrallah about the latest domestic, regional and international developments.
The meeting, which was held in Beirut’s southern suburbs, was the second gathering of the two officials since Hariri became Lebanon’s prime minister in 2009.
The talks came after Hariri held meetings with US President Barack Obama and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in May.
Hariri is scheduled to travel to Cairo later on Tuesday, where he is set to meet top Egyptian officials. He is also expected to travel to Istanbul for talks with Turkish officials on Thursday.
The visit by the Lebanese premier to Turkey would come after the country lost several activists in a brutal attack by Israeli forces against the Gaza Freedom Flotilla aid convoy on May 31.
