Berri says will respond Friday or Saturday to French paper

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri has said that he will respond “Friday or Saturday” to the French paper proposing a solution for the Lebanon-Israel border conflict.

Berri, who had received the paper from the French ambassador to Lebanon, told Asharq al-Awsat newspaper that it included “acceptable and other unacceptable points that should be modified.”

Berri added that a ceasefire in Gaza would “automatically apply to south Lebanon.”

A prominent source from the Shiite Duo meanwhile told the daily that Berri’s response will enjoy unconditional support from Hezbollah and caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati.
