Taming Berri

It seems everyone is accepting that removing Berri is not realizable.
The second best option: Transform him.


If today’s Al-Safir is correct, a compromise seems to have been reached on Berri. His deputy would be Future Movement’s Mr. Farid Makari. Making a Haririst take the most senior orthodox position in the land.

Also, the chatter is that Hariri would require strong, tangible commitments from Berri regarding issues deemed important to his Christian allies (the release of Geagea, better electoral law, reviewing relationship with Syria) before giving him a stamp of approval.

And finally, Berri, a surviving chameleon, seems to be making reconciliatory promises and noises.
