Upon the request from the Qatari prime minister, leaders of the ruling March 14 coalition would take one plane, the Hezbollah-led opposition chiefs would take another, while a third plane would carry the journalists and assistants with the hope all the three groups would return on one jet when the dialogue talk is completed .
The pro-opposition newspaper Ad Diyar reported on Friday that Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah would not go to Doha ( Al Dawhat) for security considerations.
It said Hezbollah MPs Mohammed Raad, Mohammed Fneish and Hussein Hajj Hassan would represent him at the talks.
Meanwhile, the daily As Safir said Druze leader Walid Jumblat telephoned late Thursday Hajj Wafiq Safa, Hezbollah 's security coordinator, in the first such contact between the two sides in a long time.
Citing Jumblatt circles, As Safir said the Druze leader told Safa that "throughout my life I used to fight with honor and make peace with honor."
Jumblatt also stressed the need to maintain contacts and open channels for dialogue.
Jumblatt toured the mountains to express condolences to the families of victims in the latest round of violence which erupted May 7.
Arab mediators succeeded Thursday in containing Lebanon's cycle of violence that drove the nation to the edge of sectarian war.
The deal was announced by Qatari Prime Minister-Foreign Minister Sheik Hamad Bin Jassem al-Thani at a packed news conference in the plush Phoenicia Hotel.
The six-point plan said leaders of the rival factions agreed to join dialogue in Doha as of Friday, to elect Army Commander Gen. Michel Suleiman President and to form a national unity government.
The feuding factions agreed on spreading state authority throughout Lebanon, on refraining from using weapons for political aims, withdrawing gunmen from the streets and halting propaganda campaigns that agitate hatred.
