Berri tells US delegation no time to waste in border demarcation file
Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri on Monday warned a U.S. delegation against any further delay in the U.S.-mediated talks between Lebanon and Israel to demarcate their maritime border.
“There is no more time for procrastination and delay in the demarcation of the sea boundary and for allowing the companies that won the tenders to start their work,” Berri told a delegation from the American Task Force for Lebanon, which was accompanied by U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon Dorothy Shea.
“There is no justification at all for this delay or prohibition,” Berri added.

Why doesn't he just say that the President or his representatives would be willing to sit down face-to-face with the Israelis, sort out the last details and sign the agreement. This could be done within 2-4 weeks and then immediately after that the companies which had won the Lebanese tenders could start work.
Naturally he won't do that and will then blame the Israelis for the delay. Let him for once show who exactly is governing Lebanon and get things done.
