Berri asks al-Rahi about 'alternative' to 'prior agreement'
Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri has hit back at remarks by Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi.
In his sermon on Sunday, al-Rahi had criticized Berri’s proposals for the presidential file, rejecting his suggestion for securing a “prior agreement” on the president’s identity prior to voting.
Berri snapped back, according to ad-Diyar newspaper, telling his visitors: “I don’t really know what they want… What is the alternative? Whoever has a solution should give it to us.”
