Report: Hezbollah fears Berri may accept arms plan despite its objection

Hezbollah has concerns over the intentions of Speaker Nabih Berri, political sources told the Nidaa al-Watan newspaper, reminding of the Speaker’s approval in November of the ceasefire agreement “despite Hezbollah’s objection.”

Hezbollah “fears that Berri might take a similar step regarding the arms monopolization plan and its handover to the state through a decision issued by Cabinet, despite Hezbollah’s objection to this step,” the sources said.

Informed sources meanwhile told the daily that “Berri’s attempts to ease Hezbollah’s stance have succeeded in form, but in content Hezbollah has maintained its obstinacy.”
