MP Saad Hariri, head of the Future Movement, said today that the new government would include a concession to the Hezbollah movement, which leads the opposition.

"I have asked Prime Minister designate Fouad Siniora to accept the nomination of Ali Qanso" in the line-up, Hariri said after meeting the premier, referring to a figure previously opposed by the parliamentary majority.
