Hezbollah's Media Relations Department denied, in an issued statement on Saturday, any connection with the recent article published in Al-Liwaa Newspaper on Friday, May 15, 2020.

The article had quoted sources close to Hezbollah as stating that the party has eliminated “Bassil and Frangieh” from the presidential race early. Hezbollah categorically denied such news, affirming that it is not concerned with what was published in the aforementioned newspaper and that it does not have any close or well-informed sources or any similar media formats.

Hezbollah, thus, reiterated its call to media outlets to maintain utmost accuracy when publishing news, and to avoid using such “formulas” in their issued comments, articles and reports.
