This is a very important and delicate point, namely a matter of balances that President Berri may undertake to preserve Islamic unity.

What is happening today is due to the absence of the political authorities that once carried weight, particularly since the days of the martyr Rafik Hariri and even during the era of President Saad Hariri. More clearly, if the martyr President Rafik Hariri were present, what happened would not have happened. Today, in the absence of leaders and authorities, matters may have shifted to the Speaker of Parliament, but not in order to create a rotation between Sunnis and Shiites or to redress the grievance of the noble Shiite community politically, religiously and administratively, but to preserve the game of political balances.

A state that does not hear people's voice in institutions will hear it later in the street. But more dangerous than the protest itself is the loss of hope.
العلامة الشيخ علي الخطيبنائب رئيس المجلس الإسلامي الشيعي الأعلى10 days ago · ABNA
The choice before Lebanon is either to keep managing its crises with patchwork solutions or to move from crisis management to state-building. Even if the war ends tomorrow, even if the Israeli forces withdraw, even if the direct negotiations we did not support succeed, Lebanon will not automatically regain its health.
العلامة الشيخ علي الخطيبنائب رئيس المجلس الإسلامي الشيعي الأعلى10 days ago · ABNA
At this highly complex Lebanese moment, events cannot be approached from a single angle. Lebanon is living a crisis of state before a crisis of government, a crisis of trust before a financial crisis, and a crisis of sovereignty before a border crisis.
