- Quintet Committee to Meet With Hezbollah in April
According to MTV’s sources, the Quintet Committee is scheduled to meet with Hezbollah's delegation on April 13, with a subsequent meeting with the National Moderation Bloc on April 17.
This comes after months of presidential deadlock, with Hezbollah and Amal blocking multiple election sessions in Parliament due to disagreements over possible candidates.
In their last tour of mediations, from March 18 till March 20, the Committee met with Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, Maronite Patriarch Bechara Rai, former President Michel Aoun, as well as Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea, with all statements indicating that the meetings were fruitful and moving in the right direction, with no specific details on names for candidacy.
The proposal from the National Moderation Bloc entails assembling Members of Parliament from various blocs in Parliament. Subsequently, they would advocate for an unrestricted parliamentary session with consecutive rounds until the election of a new president. Since March 4, the Bloc has been awaiting a response from Hezbollah on their advances.
