jumblattJumblatt Hezbollah cannot agree on a venue for the meeting

“We have agreed on a joint meeting between the two parties this week but disagreed on the location. I understood from (PSP Minister) Wael (Abou Faour) that (Hezbollah  official) Hajj Hassan Khalil has asked it be held in Haret Hreik which I frankly refused. The party (Hezbollah) should take the initiative and visit us this time,” said Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblatt .

Hezbollah-PSP ties remain tense and the said meeting was supposed to ease the conflict.
