BEIRUT, June 7 (Reuters) - A Lebanese alliance including Hezbollah should take part in a new government, leading politician Walid Jumblatt said on Sunday, after his rival coalition defeated the Shi'ite group and its allies in a parliamentary election.
The Druze leader, a leading figure in the anti-Syrian "March 14" alliance, told Reuters he did not support the idea of veto power in the new cabinet for the rival coalition, which politicians on both sides told Reuters had lost the election.
