Berri Says Dialogue between Mustaqbal, Hizbullah Ongoing
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Speaker Nabih stressed on Friday that dialogue between the rival two parties al-Mustaqbal movement and Hizbullah will continue, pointing out that the upcoming session will remain on time.
“Dialogue will continue and will continue to achieve Lebanon's best interest,” Berri said.
His comments came in light of media reports saying that al-Mustaqbal movement is mulling to suspend the talks with Hizbullah over the recent verbal spat between the officials of the two parties.
Hizbullah and al-Mustaqbal officials have been meeting in Ain el-Tineh under the auspices of Berri since December to defuse sectarian hostility linked to the war in Syria.
The upcoming session is set to be held on April 14.
Berri expressed pessimism earlier on Friday over the verbal spat between Hizbullah and al-Mustaqbal movement.
He said that the hostile media exchange should be the center of attention of the upcoming dialogue session between the two parties.
“I will demand both sides to tackle the matter amid the strong rhetoric and firm stances,” the speaker's visitors quoted him as saying in comments to al-Joumhouria newspaper on Friday.
“We should be cautious.”
Meanwhile, al-Akhbar newspaper reported that al-Mustaqbal movement is seeking to adjourn for a week Tuesday's dialogue session over the pretext that Nader Hariri, the adviser of the Mustaqbal Movement leader Saad Hariri, is abroad.
Sources close to al-Msutaqbal told the newspaper that the “rise in tension between the two parties doesn't allow the holding of a new session, which would make no sense amid the current rhetoric.”
“The matter will be discussed with Hariri, but hasn't been yet proposed to Berri.”
Hariri on Wednesday had slammed Iran's expansionist plans in the region, defended Saudi Arabia, and attempts to link Lebanon to the neighboring conflicts, in direct response to a speech by Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.
However, Hariri's statements prompted Hizbullah's Loyalty to the Resistance bloc chief MP Mohmmed Raad to condemn the remarks against the criticism directed to Saudi Arabia, saying that linking Iran to the developments in Yemen and Lebanon are a “major mistake.”
“Only ignorants and cowards remain silent over Saudi Arabia's genocide in Yemen,” he stressed.

did KSA burn Al Jadeed TV?
did KSA burn Future TV?
Did KSA through its son Jawad Nasrallah threatened Al Jadeed station 4 days ago because it criticized Nasrallah's speech?

Didn't KSA finance Isis, Al Nusra and all the other various takfiri groups in Lebanon? Mostaqbals takfiris included, the ones that chopped people to pieces at Halba in 2008.

Mr. Berri, you are all criminals and thugs who destroyed this beautiful country, ripped off her wealth and heritage, corrupted and then brain washed her honorable people who now cannot even have a constructive debate without name calling and insults. Shame on you, all of you but I no you have no morals and you don't care!

Dialogue with the terrorist iranian party is like dialogue with mowaten. Lies, propaganda, deceit, fabrications. You dialogue with someone who is Lebanese and cares about Lebanon's past, present and future and not with a foreign sectarian entity that pledges allegiance to the farsi empire. The terror party is using this useless dialogue as a sign of approval and silence by mustaqbal for its sectarian wars outside Lebanon. The mowatens of this world are now claiming the party of terror interfered in Yemen because of the massacres committed at the Lebanese-Yemeni border by Saudi-Takfiri groups against shia villages. These groups were massing at the Lebanese-Yemeni borders in their thousands ready to attack Jounieh and Beirut.

Ebola has destroyed coexistence in Lebanon.
Ebola has destroyed most institutions in Lebanon.
Ebola has destroyed the economy.
Ebola has destroyed the stability.
Ebola is pursuing an Iranian agenda.
Ebola falsely claims it is a resistance.
Ebola pretends to liberate Jerusalem and beyond Jerusalem to keep its weapons and dominate the country.
Ebola has become a state in the place of the real state.
Ebola has a culture of war and violence.
Ebola wants to make of Lebanon a spearhead of combat and war.
Ebola wants to decide for peace or war as it wants.
Ebola is a disease.
The cure? Is within Ebola when they realize the extent of damages they are inflicting to the people and the whole country.

This so-called dialog between Hezbollah and Mustaqbal was a farce anyway, it never amounted to much but to buy time for Hezbollah and its M8 related aims one of them to thin out the will of M14 over the presidency. Things do change once in a while and by the looks they are ominously worrying Hezbollah. If this dialog is going to continue as one of the deaf, then better call it off, because every time Saad Hariri shakes the hands of either Hezbollah or the FPM, one of his fingers goes missing. best to play the waiting game, can't get much worse anyway.

Phoenix1 bro who decided that mustaqbal or m8 represented the lebanese anyway , as I see it there really isn't much difference between the two if you look at them m8 represents Iran and Syria and mustaqbal represent Saudi Arabia and none represent lebanon . We need new blood that represent the lebanese and only the lebanese and the rest can go to hell !!!

as you see it there is not much difference between terrorism, sectarianism, hatred, backwardness and everything that is to the contrary. I bet you see 50 shades of grey.

JSL, true, very true, I agree with you, neither M8 nor M14 should represent us anyway, years down the line, they've both proven that their interests are principally anchored in non-Lebanese waters. Good point you made and thank you too. Cheers.
