Berri: Course headed to solution, no one accepts Hezbollah's isolation
Speaker Nabih Berri on Friday announced that "the course is headed toward a solution" as to the issue of the Shiite Duo's participation in the new government.
Prime Minister-designate "Nawaf Salam is cooperative and I did not discuss portfolios and names with him," Berri told Al-Jadeed television.
Asked whether Hezbollah and the Amal Movement will take part in the government, Berri said: "When the PM-designate presents the names to us, we will agree if the person is competent, and we will reject him if he is not competent, even if he is my brother."
"We did not accept the isolation of any component in the past, we will not accept it today, and no one accepts Hezbollah's isolation," Berri added.
"As long as God is in the sky, the Party of God (Hezbollah) will remain on the ground," Berri stressed.
