NNA - Saudi-Iranian rapprochement prompts no substantial card reshuffle between March 8 and March 14 factions, pro-Hariri deputy of the House Ziad Qadiri stated during an interview on Voice of Lebanon radio station today.


We cannot just anticipate things around us whimsically unfolding in order to push state mechanisms ahead rather than prompt our politicians to take up priorities, Qadiri added. Iranian tampering into the security of brotherly Arab nations by using Hezbollah as their tool is utterly objectionable, he added. Any new government must undertake to reduce levels of tension by controlling endemic disputes between its constituents, Qadiri retorted.


The Future Bloc is ready to attend parliament sessions confined to working agendas of a purely consultative nature, he went on.


Unlike Marwan Hmadeh's efficiency in running the ministry of Telecommunications, we would not wonder to see Jibran Baseel rendering Bashar Assad and Hezbollah any services deemed required from him, the MP retorted.


International community reticence in helping resolve the Syrian refugee question is largely due to the absence of any responsible government, Qadiri concluded.
