Alhayat Says Hariri and Nasrallah Agree On A Solution

December 21, 2010 · Mustapha Hamoui

The Saudi owned newspaper claims that an agreement was reached between Syria and Saudi Arabia:

Prime Minister Saad Hariri and Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah were informed about a Saudi-Syrian agreement to resolve Lebanese disputes and they approved it

If that is correct, it would be a major breakthrough. To me the most telling part in the above paragraph is how P.M Hariri and Sayyed Nasrallah were “Informed” of the agreement. They then rubber-stamped it. I expect agitation though from the other Lebanese parties who will demand details.

Update: A March 14 source denies any improvement in Saudi-Syrian talks
