July 21, 2010 - Naharnet - Raad: Suleiman Called for Dialogue to Limit Tension, Nasrallah's Speech Aimed at Warning Against Strife

Loyalty to the Resistance bloc leader MP Mohammed Raad said President Michel Suleiman is holding talks with heads of parliamentary blocs to urge them for calm and solving problems through dialogue."President Suleiman is feeling the dangers of sliding into internal strife. That's why he decided to meet with leaders of the national dialogue, hoping for calm and urging them to settle issues with more dialogue and contacts," Raad told As Safir newspaper in remarks published Wednesday. He said he told Suleiman about Hizbullah's point of view on the "deliberate" tension created in the country and the campaign against the party.Raad also said that he asked the president for more positive reaction from Hizbullah's foes that are "grabbing dangerous information leakage from abroad." He lamented that some Lebanese sides "are riding the wave of Israeli attempts to create internal strife." The lawmaker defended the speech of Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, saying the secretary-general was issuing a warning against the slide into strife and the Israeli-American project in the country."In order to get out of the crisis, not a single Lebanese side should play this dangerous game," Raad stressed.
