Following his meeting with Prime Minister Saad Hariri on Monday, Loyalty to the Resistance bloc MP Mohammad Raad said that he visited the PM-along with a Hizbullah delegation-to assure his bloc's full cooperation to guarantee the cabinet's success.

Raad added that the delegation also visited Hariri to offer condolences for the 2005 assassination of his father, former PM Rafik Hariri.

According to Raad, the meeting tackled the issue of the "Israeli" threats to Lebanon.
He also addressed Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea's speech in the February 14 commemoration of the assassinations of former PM Hariri, saying, "We will listen to Geagea's demands [on Hizbullah's arms] in National Dialogue."

Geagea called on party leaders to hand over their weapons to the government, adding that arsenals outside of state control can lead to foreign attacks.
Raad also said that he would not reveal the details of the Sunday meeting between Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblatt and Hizbullah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.

The delegation accompanying Raad included State Minister for Administrative Reforms Mohammad Fneish, and Hizbullah MPs Ali Ammar, Hassan Fadlallah, Nawwaf Moussawi, Ali Makdad, Bilal Farhat and Kamel Rifai.
