Berri Slams March 14 Stances on Security Council Statement
Speaker Nabih Berri said that the March 14 forces have lost control over their nerves, stressing that disarming Israel and not the resistance must be a national aim.
“The real danger is the Israeli greed and its wars against Lebanon… Disarming the Zionist arms not the resistance is an urgent national goal,” Berri said on Monday at an Iftar at BIEL.
He urged the cabinet to accomplish the decrees related to the oil, before Israel takes advantage of the situation.
Concerning the March 14-led opposition’s stance on the Syrian developments, Berri called on it to stop helping the West against Lebanon’s neighbors and the Arabs.
He said: “They were shocked by the pioneering role that the cabinet played at the Security Council, which facilitated the release of a balanced statement.”
“Lebanon remained loyal by disavowing itself from every Arabic conflict,” the speaker noted.
Berri criticized the March 14 forces saying: “Ask your masters at the Security Council about Lebanon’s stance, and be sure that all your accusations will fall.”
“This propaganda (you’re following) made you lose your nerves, this is the truth,” he added.
The Arab council member Lebanon has disavowed the U.N. Security Council statement condemning Syria saying it would not help end the crisis in its neighbor.
