Berri Assures Will Follow Up on Israeli Espionage Activities 'Until the End'

Speaker Nabih Berri expressed his relief on Wednesday over the conclusions reached at the telecommunications committee's meeting on the Israeli spying report, praising also parliamentary “consensus” to confront Israel's activities.

Berri urged during his weekly Wednesday talks with parliamentary blocs “continuing to exert necessary efforts” in this matter.

"The parliament will follow up on this issue until the end,” Berri assured, according to the state-run National News Agency.

"This is a purely national case and it concerns the state, its institutions and all the Lebanese,” he said.

The parliamentary telecommunications committee denounced on Monday the Israeli espionage stations along the border as violation of Lebanon's sovereignty, pointing out that it is happening despite the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701 and the presence of the UNIFIL.

The committee's meeting came after the speaker revealed on Wednesday that Israel had set up a number of espionage stations along its border with Lebanon, starting from al-Naqoura passing by Khayyam all the way to Sheba.

The biggest espionage station is allegedly installed in al-Abbad and Jan al-Alam areas, which are located near the U.N. demarcated Blue line.
