Lebanon’s parliament speaker on Sunday criticized Washington’s push to quickly to disarm the Hezbollah militant group, and called instead for a calm national dialogue to determine “the fate of those weapons.”
Nabih Berri, a key ally of Hezbollah who was instrumental in negotiating with Washington to reach a ceasefire that ended a monthslong war between Israel and Hezbollah in November, made the remarks in an address to the country commemorating the disappearance of prominent Shite cleric Moussa al-Sadr.
