Berri not worried over 'Syrian intervention', says Salam visit to south coordinated with him
Speaker Nabih Berri has said that he is waiting to learn what happened in the bilateral meetings in Washington between President Joseph Aoun and Donald Trump and the extent of commitment to implementing the Israeli withdrawals from southern Lebanon.
Regarding whether he will meet with President Joseph Aoun upon his return from Washington, Berri told the Dubai-based WHYZ news portal: "Communication is ongoing."
As for U.S. President Donald Trump's remarks about a possible Syrian intervention in Lebanon, Berri said he is "not worried because there are no indications from either Syria or Lebanon of any intention to interfere or create tensions."
Concerning Prime Minister Nawaf Salam's visit to Zawtar al-Gharbiyeh, Berri said: "It was symbolic and coordinated with me. He contacted me, and I advised him to go early and to coordinate with the Lebanese Army because the Israeli army has not ceased firing."
