Berri Urges Members of his Bloc to Avoid Comments on Yemen Coalition
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربيةSpeaker Nabih Berri has reportedly informed the members of his parliamentary bloc not to make statements on the Saudi-led coalition against Shiite rebels in Yemen.
The Kuwaiti al-Anba daily on Monday quoted Berri as telling his visitors that he informed Development and Liberation lawmakers and members of his Amal movement to avoid positive or negative remarks about the Saudi air strikes on the Huthi rebels.
But MP Michel Moussa denied to Voice of Lebanon (100.5) radio the report.
Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, who is Berri's ally in the March 8 alliance, stressed last month that Saudi Arabia will be roundly "defeated" in its campaign, which he called "unjust" and "illegal.”
Hizbullah is now militarily involved in Syria, where it is bolstering the embattled regime, and reportedly in Iraq.
It is not clear if the party has sent its fighters to help the Iran-backed Huthis.
Hizbullah issued a statement on Saturday denying that any of its members had been killed in Yemen.
But the statement stopped short of confirming whether its members are fighting in Yemen.
According to al-Anba, Berri reiterated to his visitors that the dialogue between Hizbullah and al-Mustaqbal movement officials under his sponsorship in Ain el-Tineh will continue.
“To those who are claiming that the gap is increasing between al-Mustaqbal and Hizbullah, we say that the two sides have the right to expressed their conflicting opinions,” said Berri.
“But such converging viewpoints should be expressed more calmly,” he added.
Ansarullah and Hizbullah are men of god like all chiaas, but Ansarullah have nuclear weapons.
Before the Iranian revolution inspired us, we were nothing in Lebanon, just poor uneducated oppressed farmers for everyone to step on. Now, they not only step on us but they also use us as door mats.
Bravo Berri that is the right attitude to have. We should distance ourselves from yet another conflict and urgencies a peacefully and rapid resolution for the Yemeni conflict. M14 politicians who have reacted to hizbollah rhetoric have indeed fallen in the trap of Hizbollah.
Usually Jumblat is known to be the pendulum that swings in the direction of the wind, but Mr. Nabih Berri Ali Baba is the one that proves it beyond doubt, today is one of his confirmation that the wind is changing direction and as a real desert fox, he has damped his finger and knew early on what to do.
