Hariri and Hezbollah in the Same Boat?
It seems as if takfiris have managed to put the Future Movement and Hezbollah in the same boat. Future’s officials are now worried about a backlash led by extremists against their “moderate” movement. But in this new battle, the Future Movement lacks a leader; its chief Saad Hariri has been absent for years, living in Paris.
Would Hariri’s “opening” toward Hezbollah put both parties in the same boat against takfiris? For some in the Future Movement, this is quite plausible, mainly after statements and videos that were circulated in Tripoli, lambasting Hariri’s agreement to join a government alongside Hezbollah.
In these statements, Hariri was accused of “selling his own religion and waiving the blood of martyrs so he can reach power." He was also warned from ever “returning to Lebanon."
To add oil to fire, Saida’s fugitive Sheikh Ahmad al-Assir announced via Twitter, “Making concessions before an aggressor and a murderer and accepting to take part in an inclusive cabinet after the assassination of former minister Mohammed Shatah is a defeat and a surrender."
