Hizbullah Will also Attend Cabinet Sessions, Berri claims

Lebanese Speaker Nabih Berri has warned Prime Minister Tammam Salam against “contributing to” the cabinet’s paralysis, noting that the ministers of his AMAL Movement and its ally Hizbullah will attend the cabinet’s upcoming sessions.

“I support holding the sessions if there is a legal quorum and this is what is stipulated by the Constitution, which some parties are interpreting according to their whims and interests,” Berri told a Lebanese newspaper in remarks published Sunday.
The cabinet “is required to sign the decrees that it has been issuing,” the speaker added, pointing out that “the ministers are yet to put their signatures on the resolutions of the session.”
Addressing Salam, who is currently in New York for international meetings, Berri cautioned that “if PM Salam does not call for sessions, he would be contributing to paralyzing or even executing the cabinet.”
The speaker has long defended Salam’s government, warning that it has no “alternative.”
“We and Hizbullah support the continued presence of the government and it will stay. How can we form another government in the absence of a president?” he asked.
