Lebanese parliament speaker criticizes agreement with Israel

Nabih Berri, speaker of the Lebanese parliament and an important ally of Hezbollah, criticized the agreement signed last week between Lebanon and Israel. According to him, the measure will not be implemented and could lead to attempts to divide the Lebanese.

Berri added that negotiations between the United States and Iran represent the only realistic opportunity to guarantee the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanese territory.

Agreement mediated by the United States
The agreement was mediated by the United States and signed last week in Washington, after days of intense negotiations.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the document provides that Israel can continue to occupy southern Lebanon if Hezbollah, a group supported by Iran, does not disarm.

Ceasefire violations
Over the weekend, Israeli forces attacked Hezbollah command centers and claimed to have dismantled a launcher used by the group to carry out attacks.

In response, Hezbollah declared that residential buildings were hit during the offensive and described the action as a violation of the ceasefire.
