He was referring to Berri's reported disagreement with PM-designate Nawaf Salam over the so-called ''fifth Shiite minister,'' which torpedoed the announcement of the new cabinet line-up.
''To put it shortly, the guys (Berri and Hezbollah) have not changed their old habits: they either get what they impose or they obstruct. If the president and the PM-designate wait for the Duo to quit its bad habits, they will wait a lot and the state will not move forward,'' Yazbek added.
