Op­po­si­tion Sen­a­tor and for­mer For­eign and Cari­com Af­fairs min­is­ter Dr Amery Browne has point­ed to emerg­ing cracks with­in the Gov­ern­ment’s stance on the Mid­dle East con­flict, not­ing that two mem­bers now ap­pear to be dis­tanc­ing them­selves from the ad­min­is­tra­tion’s po­si­tion sup­port­ing the Unit­ed States and Is­rael in the war with Iran.

Speak­ing at an Op­po­si­tion me­dia con­fer­ence yes­ter­day, Browne said he had tak­en note of com­ments made by Gov­ern­ment Sen­a­tor David Nakhid and Le­gal Af­fairs Min­is­ter Sad­dam Ho­sein, which sug­gest­ed un­ease with the Gov­ern­ment’s po­si­tion.

“I al­so took note of a Gov­ern­ment Sen­a­tor and then a Min­is­ter who is an elect­ed Mem­ber of Par­lia­ment, find­ing ways to dis­tance them­selves from the Gov­ern­ment’s po­si­tion on the war in the Mid­dle East,” Browne said.
