Arab League chief resumes mediation with rival Lebanese factions
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
The head of the Arab League has arrived in Lebanon to resume his mediation between Lebanon's feuding factions amid signs that a solution for the three-month presidential deadlock was still far off as the gap between the pro-government and opposition factions remained wide.
Arab League Secretary-General Amr Moussa went straight from Beirut airport Sunday to talks with Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, who is aligned with the Syrian-backed opposition led by Hizbullah.
He later met with legislator Saad Hariri, leader of the anti-Syrian parliamentary majority, to discuss efforts to implement an Arab initiative to solve Lebanon's deepening political crisis, the state-run National News Agency reported.
