Berri: Some Parties Bid to Settle Accounts with Syria Threatens Lebanon Security
Speaker Nabih Berri on Sunday warned that “attempts by some people in Lebanon to settle political accounts with Syria represent a threat to Lebanon’s security and future.”
In a speech delivered by his representative, caretaker Health Minister Mohammed Jawad Khalife, at a ceremony in the southern town of al-Mseileh, Berri warned against “attempts to deviate attention in Lebanon towards the North instead of confronting the impending danger looming over Lebanon, Palestine and Syria due to Israel’s hostility on the southern front.”
Berri called on “the political ‘adventurers and teenagers’ to heed Lebanon’s real problems on the country’s southern border” and in the Lebanese domestic arena, urging them to “stop pouring oil on fire” and to “stop playing with fire.”
