Beirut: Lebanese governing coalition leader Saad Al Hariri proposed a deal to end a conflict with Hezbollah on Thursday, appearing to row back on government decisions which the group had viewed as a declaration of war.
Hariri outlined a deal that would consider the government decisions a "misunderstanding".
He was referring to a cabinet decision this week to declare illegal Hezbollah's communications network and remove the head of airport security, who is close to the group, from his post.
Hezbollah says the communications network is part of its military infrastructure.
