Bassil meets Berri, agrees with him on fighting strife, supporting army
Free Patriotic Movement chief Jebran Bassil met Tuesday with Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri in Ain el-Tineh, to discuss a framework agreement signed Friday with Israel.
Bassil said after the meeting that he and Berri agree on two main things. They both want to prevent internal strife, and both agree on defending the military.
The Israel-Lebanon deal calls for Hezbollah to be disarmed before Israel will withdraw its troops from southern Lebanon. Israel agreed to withdraw initially from a couple of "pilot zones" where the Lebanese army would then deploy, but no details have been shared about how that will work in practice.
Hezbollah officials have warned that attempts to implement the plan could lead to civil war.
