He expressed optimism on the success of the Saudi-Syrian initiative and said the Lebanese “are capable of agreeing and working in Lebanon’s interest.”

“Saudi and Syrian signs carry optimistic news,” Ali told As Safir newspaper, hoping there would be more positive developments in the next few days.
