Media leaks from New York City revealed on Monday that the expected meeting between Prime Minister Saad Hariri and Saudi King Abdullah has taken place, with initial reports saying that the atmosphere was positive and that the talks addressed all pending issues without exception.
Sources from the parliamentary majority told the Central News Agency that the majority has never ceased adopting openness and extending its hand towards the opposition to end the political crisis.
The opposition however has only resorted to threats and intimidation, they added.
"Hariri's positions are clear and known, while the opposition has only greeted him with a list of required concessions," they continued.
"The time has come for us all sit together because a solution cannot be imposed, but it is a product of an agreement between the two sides," they stressed.
Meanwhile, diplomatic sources expected that a number of Arab and foreign officials would begin flocking to Beirut in order to facilitate a settlement.
They noted that these visits are expected to take place in light of the end of Special Tribunal for Lebanon Prosecutor Judge Daniel Bellemare's vacation, pointing out that a hotel near the court headquarters in The Hague has been rented in preparation for the release of the indictment in the investigation into the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.
Some reports have said that Syria may begin requesting meetings with leading opposition members for consultations with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad after he had met with them away from the media spotlight.
Furthermore, sources monitoring the situation in Lebanon expected that the political differences may turn into street disputes through labor union strikes, for example.
