Amal Movement blast U.S sanctions while doubling down on Finance Ministry portfolio
[EN.ANNAHAR] Speaker Nabih Knobby Berri
...Speaker of the Lebanese parliament, head of the Amal Shiite party aligned with Hezbollah, a not very subtle sock puppet of the Medes and Persians...
's Amal Movement blasted U.S sanctions on the group's close aid Ali Hassan Khalil, labeling them as an encroachment on Leb
...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
's illusory sovereignty and maritime borders.

"We will not compromise on our sovereign rights and borders regardless of any sanctions and pressure," a statement issued by the group said.

On Tuesday, the U.S Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned former Lebanese government ministers Youssef Fenianos and Ali Hassan Khalil for "providing material support to Hezbollah and engaging in corruption."

Hassan Khalil served as the Minister of Finance (2014-2020) and Minister of Public Health (2011-2014) after being ushered in by Berri, the leader of the Shiite Amal Movement who has held his position as Parliament Speaker for over 30 years.
