“The alliance is broken, and the lovers have parted ways,” presumably stated a Free Patriotic Movement (FPM) official regarding their party’s relations with Hezbollah.
According to the source, the meeting that took place in Rabieh between President Michel Aoun and a Hezbollah delegation, presided over by the party chief of the Loyalty of Resistance Bloc, Mohammed Raad, along with Ali Ammar and Hassan Fadlallah, was negative, contrary to the delegation’s claims and what media outlets affiliated with the formation promoted last week.
Former president Michel Aoun reportedly reiterated his positions on Hezbollah, criticizing them on issues he had already voiced in the media.
Other FPM members added that the meeting did not lead to a breakthrough in relations but rather to increased tension and divergence. A tense atmosphere could be sensed following the FPM founder’s stance on the decisions of Hezbollah.
