Report: Aoun-Berri Twitter Argument over Port Probe Solved

A heated argument between President Michel Aoun and Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri on Twitter was solved due to high-level talks in the past 24 hours, al-Joumhouria newspaper said Friday.

Aoun said in a tweet Wednesday that “innocents do not fear the judiciary,” and “those who put themselves in the accusation position mustn't blame those who think badly of them.”

Berri swiftly responded, saying that “the judiciary should not be the judiciary of those in power,” while Hizbullah refrained from commenting.

The Cabinet has failed to hold a single session since Hizbullah and Amal said they will boycott Cabinet meetings until it takes a clear stand on demands to replace port blast investigator Judge Tarek Bitar.
