"Nidaa Al-Watan" learned that Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri is upset with the developments in the situation and finds himself unable to take initiative; on one hand, "Hezbollah" is not responding to his directives, and on the other hand, he feels embarrassed before the Shiite community.

"Nidaa Al-Watan" learned that Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri is upset with the developments in the situation and finds himself unable to take initiative; on one hand, "Hezbollah" is not responding to his directives, and on the other hand, he feels embarrassed before the Shiite community, as he observes the tragedies befalling his sect amidst fears of the situation deteriorating and the scope of displacement expanding.
While a meeting between Aoun and Berri was expected today in Baabda, "Nidaa Al-Watan" learned that communication between the two men has not ceased, and that direct communication lines or those through envoys are still open. What is delaying the meeting is not a disagreement or a fundamental reason, but rather the Speaker's preoccupation with the utmost priority of achieving a ceasefire, following up on his community's affairs, and addressing the repercussions of displacement.
