Lebanese paper: Former MK Bishara met with Hezbollah chief Nasrallah
By Yoav Stern, Haaretz Correspondent
Balad Chairman and former MK Azmi Bishara met with Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, the Lebanese newspaper As-Safir reported Monday.
The newspaper did not say where and where the meeting was held or what was discussed, nor did it reveal the source of the information.
Bishara visited Lebanon some two weeks ago. During a stop in the village of Nabatiyeh, Bishara called for a global front to prevent a regional war.
The Israeli Arab newspaper A-Sinara had reported in the past that Nasrallah denied Bishara's request for a meeting.
Bishara is accused of security and financial-related crimes, and as a result fled Israel several months ago and currently resides in Jordan and Qatar.
Should he return to Israel, he is expected to be placed under arrest given the fact that he failed to report for police questioning on the matter.
However, Israel has not requested that an international warrant be issued for his arrest.
