Berri Consul Party Ties
The article argues that responsibility for the case of Ibrahim Sharara, Lebanon’s former consul in Michigan, lies primarily with whoever selected him for the post. Sharara was expelled from the United States after expressing views that included glorifying the 1983 bombing of the Marine barracks. The article suggests that Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri may have been behind Sharara’s appointment, though there is no confirmed information that Berri knew about Sharara’s tweets. The writer links the case to Berri’s relationship with Hezbollah, asking whether the tearing down of Berri’s picture in the town of Kfara reflects anger at his distancing himself from the party, or at his tolerance of it, amid the destruction inflicted on southern Lebanon.
