As Hezbollah denies any connection to an Iranian cargo ship of weapons seized by Israel, The Daily Star is reporting Lebanese Speaker Nabih Berri is threatening a solo, open-ended sit-in until the cabinet formation deadlock is resolved.  Sourcing are saying that Berri is laying out three possible reconciliation strategies:  re-initiating the formal process of National Dialogue sessions, to convene Parliament to deliberate the cabinet issue, or conduct a presumably one-man sit-in at Nijmeh Square to express his displeasure with the impasse, until a solution is reached.  The deadlock has centered on the offer by Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri to FPM leader MP Michel Aoun to retain the Telecommunications and Energy Ministries as part of his Reform and Change bloc’s share.
