Lebanon's opposition lawmakers start work in chaotic first session
In their first session, Lebanon's newly elected opposition legislators found themselves immediately swamped in the quagmire of Lebanese politics.
Nabih Berri was reelected speaker of parliament for a seventh term during Lebanon's first parliamentary session since the May 15 elections.
Berri heads the Amal Movement and is a close ally of Hezbollah. The 84-year-old politician has held his position since 1992. This time he won by his slimmest margin ever with only 65 votes compared to 98 in 2018.
