SHAFAQNA- Lebanon’s Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri will call for dialogue in early October. “If nothing happens, I will head the dialogue with Deputy Speaker Elias Bou Saab,” Berri told Al-Liwaa newspaper in remarks published Monday (18 Sep. 2023).
Berri had called for a seven-day dialogue, following which open presidential election sessions would be held. The blocs opposed to Hezbollah have refused to take part in talks to agree on a president before proceeding with a vote, preferring to rely on the democratic process.
