What is the Amal Movement? Lebanon’s second-largest Shi’a party
As Hezbollah’s future grows uncertain, Amal—Lebanon’s second-largest Shi’a party—may see its role expand. Led by Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, it remains a key domestic ally of Hezbollah but could gain influence as the group faces internal and regional challenges. Amal has historically acted as a bridge between Hezbollah and Western powers, and analysts suggest it could present itself as a more acceptable partner while still protecting Shi’a interests.
