Report: Hezbollah, Amal won't resort to 'popular escalation'

W460

Hezbollah and the Amal Movement do not want a “popular escalation” on the streets over Tuesday’s cabinet session that will tackle the thorny issue of Hezbollah’s disarmament, pro-Hezbollah journalist Qassem Qassir told Al-Jadeed TV on Tuesday.

“There are contacts to reach an agreement and the atmosphere is positive,” Qassir added.

Supporters of Hezbollah had overnight roamed the streets of Beirut’s southern suburbs and the capital on motorbikes, in a show of defiance reflecting their rejection of Hezbollah’s disarmament. Qassir, however, said those protests were “spontaneous” and not organized by the party.
