Berri wants ceasefire and withdrawal, regardless of who brings them
Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri hopes a meeting set for Tuesday between President Joseph Aoun and U.S. President Donald Trump will yield positive results.
Berri told local news platform al-Afdal, in remarks published Monday, that he only cares about reaching a real solution, regardless of where that solution comes from.
Hezbollah and Amal had criticized a framework agreement reached in Israeli-Lebanese direct talks, but Berri told al-Afdal News that what matters is liberating Lebanon and securing its rights.
Berri revealed that Aoun had called him shortly before departing for Washington to brief him on the visit and consult with him. He urged him to insist on consolidating the ceasefire and ensuring a full Israeli withdrawal from the occupied southern territories.
