Amal and Hezbollah face growing strain over war concerns, report says
Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri is trying to dissuade Hezbollah from joining a new support war in case of an eventual Iran war, Nidaa Al-Watan newspaper reported Friday.
The daily claimed there is frustration among the Shiite community and fear of a rift between Amal and Hezbollah should the armed group choose war once again. "Silent disagreements (between Amal and Hezbollah) could turn into an open political confrontation," the daily said.
The report revealed Berri had received diplomatic warnings that any involvement in a war in support of Iran would have catastrophic consequences for the Shiite community.
Al-Jadeed meanwhile said that Hezbollah has not promised Berri that it will not get involved in any potential Iran war.
