Future Movement (Arabic: تيار المستقبل, Tayyar Al Mustaqbal) is a political movement in Lebanon, led by Saad Hariri, younger son of the assassinated former Prime Minister of Lebanon, Rafik Hariri.
The movement was the largest member of the Rafik Hariri Martyr List, which won a majority of the seats in the July 2005 parliamentary elections.
The current leader, Saad Hariri, has vowed to transform it into a political party when the country becomes stable and the regime without religious references. Most of its support comes from Sunni Muslims, the PSP Druze Party, and Maronite Catholics who are associated with the Lebanese Forces and Kataeb parties (main 3 allies of the Sunni Muslims). The main opponent of Future Movement, also known as Tayyar al Mustaqbal, is Hezballah. Hezballah is a Shiite grouping in Lebanon, principally known for an extensive paramilitary wing widely designated as terrorist, that opposes the Lebanese Government - which the Lebanese Forces; Kataeb, and Future Movement are majority.
