Field Marshal Illu Al-Murr wants to negotiate with Israel

"Aside from his experience as defense minister, he would bring a neutrality that no Shia -- such as current FM Fawzi Salloukh, an ally of Amal head Nabih Berri -- could offer in order to negotiate "with a free hand to the benefit of Lebanon." Lebanon, he assessed, needs to be among the Arab countries deciding what a peace deal with Israel would look like, rather than being left behind."
