Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah met with Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblatt on Wednesday to discuss current developments, including the Special Tribunal for Lebanon’s (STL) pending indictment, according to a statement issued by Hezbollah.
Media outlets have reported that the tribunal will indict Hezbollah members in its investigation of the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. Nasrallah on Friday called the STL an Israeli project aiming to incite sectarian strife in Lebanon.
Nasrallah and Jumblatt also addressed the issues of granting rights to Palestinian refugees in Lebanon and the recent arrests of three alleged telecom spies, the statement said.
Police have arrested three suspects over the past month in an expanding probe into an alleged network of Israeli spies employed in the country's telecom sector.
Ministers Ghazi Aridi and Akram Shehayeb—who belong to the PSP—as well as Hezbollah official Wafiq Safa participated in the meeting, the statement added.
It also said that the members of the meeting “agreed to enhance relations between [Hezbollah and the PSP].”
