Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri received at the second presidential headquarters in Ain El-Tineh, the Deputy Secretary-General for Peace, Security and Defence at the European External Action Service, Charles Fries, and his accompanying delegation, in the presence of European Union Ambassador to Lebanon, Sandra De Waele.
The meeting reportedly discussed the general developments in Lebanon and the region, as well as the latest political and field updates.
Speaker Berri also received the head of the Lebanese Association of Economic Journalists, Sabine Oueiss, and members of the administrative body.
Berri told the delegation, "We would be happy if the war of extermination that the Palestinian people have been subjected to for two years in the Gaza Strip were to cease."
Berri however stressed the need to be wary of Israel’s reneging on the agreement, “as it has always evaded all agreements and covenants it has concluded, the most recent of which was the ceasefire agreement with Lebanon last November, to which Lebanon fully adhered in the area south of the Litani River, as acknowledged by those who agree with or oppose the resistance and Hezbollah.”
He added: "The resistance has not fired a single shot since November 27, 2024, while Israel, instead of withdrawing, releasing prisoners, and halting its aggression, has occupied areas it had not previously occupied and destroyed entire villages."
