BEIRUT: Hezbollah official Ghaleb Abu Zainab said Hezbollah harbors no animosity toward the Kataeb Party despite their differences over Hezbollah's arms.

“We don’t see the Kataeb as hostile to us,” Abu Zainab told As-Safir newspaper in remarks published Thursday.

He hailed the Kataeb’s vision of “coexistence regardless of political rhetoric.”

"Despite all the political points of contention between us and the obvious distance between us over how to approach the issue of weapons, we look at the Kataeb Party positively,” said Abu Zainab, who is a member of Hezbollah’s Political Council.

“It is possible for us to converge on a lot of issues,” he added.

Kataeb Party leader Amin Gemayel has repeatedly attacked Hezbollah over its arms arsenal.
