Member of the political bureau of the Hizbullah Party Muhammad Fannish has denied that the Hizbullah party has had promised the Lebanese prime minister Rafiq al-Hariri to halt the operations at Shebaa farms in response to his request for meeting European conditions in this regard, in preparations for convening the Paris conference.

Fannish told the Kuwaiti daily al-Rai al-Am in its Monday's issue that these information are not correct.
