What did Shea tell Berri in Ain el-Tineh meeting?
U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon Dorothy Shea met Tuesday with Speaker Nabih Berri and caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati to “relay the U.S. stance” over the developments in Gaza and south Lebanon, media reports said.
Shea “warned against dragging Lebanon or Hezbollah’s entanglement of the country through opening a new front in the South,” al-Liwaa newspaper reported on Wednesday.
“Shea relayed yesterday to Speaker Nabih Berri, caretaker PM Najib Mikati and caretaker Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib the stance of her country’s administration over the rapid developments in Gaza, warning against the consequences of Hezbollah’s participation in the ongoing clashes between Israel and the Hamas Movement,” political sources told the daily.
“This would subject Lebanon and the Lebanese to uncalculated dangers,” Shea reportedly warned, while stressing the United States’ “keenness on Lebanon security and stability.”
