A Lebanese MP close to Hezbollah confirmed to Al-Monitor that the "political Shiite" camp, stretching from Tehran to Beirut, is seriously considering a possible rapprochement with Sunni political Islam, represented by the Muslim Brotherhood in particular.
The MP's statements came hours before Hamas leader Ahmed Youssef declared that meetings were held between Hamas — considered to be the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood — and Iranian officials, "to solve some of the issues that caused misunderstanding between the two sides."
