BEIRUT: Former Prime Minister Saad Hariri will launch a limited initiative to address certain aspects of the political crisis, a local newspaper said Monday.
AL-Joumhouria, citing knowledgeable sources, said Hariri was getting ready for a trip to Paris within the coming hours for preparatory meetings in the wake of a “limited initiative” the former premier plans to launch to tackle some aspects of the Lebanese crisis.
The sources said Hariri would meet a number of aides and advisors as well as media friends in the French capital ahead of his Thursday appearance on Marcel Ghanem’s Kalam Al-Nas talk show.
They said Hariri will likely hold a lengthy meeting with former President Michel Sleiman, who will travel from the Vatican to Paris for talks with French President Francois Holland next Thursday, hours before the television interview.
Meanwhile, local daily Al-Liwaa quoted a Future Movement source as saying Hariri would clarify “many sticking points.”
