Erika Solomon in Beirut: the Nicholas Blanfrod school of journalism

"Officially, Hizbollah has made no comment on its role with the Houthis, but a political source close to the group’s leadership said the relationship goes back several years and hinted it may be playing an advisory role to Houthi forces."  The political close who is close (geographically close or psychologically close, I wonder?) to the entire party leadership, one by one, also added: yes, we are terrorists and we deserve to be bombed and we are the most evil source in the world and please take those quotations to the Western world because my mission as a political source close to the party's leadership is to damage the party's fortunes and to increase the pressures on the party.  Let me guess who this source is: Jumblat? Hariri? Or Prince Muhammad bin Salman?
