Hezbollah sees progress on Lebanon government |
|
BEIRUT: A leading member of the Lebanese Shi'ite group Hezbollah said yesterday there was progress in talks towards the formation of a new government to be headed by the billionaire Sunni politician Saad Al-Hariri. Hariri, designated prime minister a month ago, is aiming to form a coalition cabinet grouping his "March 14" alliance with a rival coalition including the powerful Iran- and Syria-backed Hezbollah and its allies. Hariri's alliance, supported by countries including the United States and Saudi Arabia, defeated Hezbollah and its allies in a June 7 parliamentary election.
