Berri calls for complete Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon

Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri stressed the need to adhere to stabilizing the ceasefire and ensuring complete Israeli withdrawal from the occupied southern territories.

Berri said, in a statement to the local “Afdal News” website published on Monday, that President Joseph Aoun called him before his departure for Washington to arrange a visit and consultation on the pillars of the Lebanese position, revealing that he “confirmed to him the necessity of adhering to two matters: establishing the ceasefire and ensuring complete Israeli withdrawal from the occupied southern territories.”

Berri stressed that he “hopes that President Aoun’s meeting with US President Donald Trump will lead to achieving positive and serious results in favor of liberating Lebanon and achieving its inalienable rights that we adhere to,” noting that “what matters to him is actually reaching a real solution and not where this solution comes from.”
