Berri from Iran: Resistance Deterring Israel from Exploiting Arab Situation to Harm Lebanon
Speaker Nabih Berri noted on Saturday that Lebanon remains Israel’s main enemy because it is its major competitor in the region, adding that the Jewish state is seeking to fragment Lebanon.
He said during the opening of the international conference in support of the Palestinian intifada held in Iran: “The Resistance is the main deterrent power against Israel and given the current circumstances, it is a necessity to prevent Israeli exploitation of the situation in the Arab world to harm Lebanon.”
“Israel does not seek peace because it is not qualified to achieve it,” he said.
Furthermore, he stated that Israel can no longer claim that it is the sole democracy in the region in light of the democratic revolt that took place in Egypt.
Addressing the situation in Palestine, Berri remarked: “Should the Palestinian state be recognized, Palestinian arms must be unified to end the occupation.”
“Why are Arab states boycotting Syria instead of Israel?” the speaker wondered.
“Why are Arab funds being employed to finance Syria’s demonstrations instead of the Palestinian people?” he asked.
“Is it because Syria, like Iran, supports the Resistance and is demanding fair and comprehensive peace?” he wondered.
