Report: Berri asks Hezbollah to cooperate with army, urges against street action

W460

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri has called on Hezbollah to “cooperate with the Lebanese Army,” which is preparing a plan for monopolizing arms in the hands of the state, unnamed sources told Al-Arabiya television.

Berri also stressed to Hezbollah that “there is no benefit from using street action to object against the disarmament decision or force its drop,” the sources said.

The sources added that the Speaker has called on Hezbollah to back the government as it seeks to extend the mandate of the United Nations Interim Forces in Lebanon (UNIFIL).

Yes, though he will need to repeat the message (unequivocally and without confusing the matter by other "mixed signals") many times before Hezbollah hears what he is saying about its role in the now and future of Lebanon.
