Berri tells Israel 'cheerers' nothing will remain in region but Israel if it wins
Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri hinted that Israel will destroy everything and everyone in the region if it wins this war.
"There will be only Israel," he said, in remarks published Tuesday in Annahar, adding that those who are happy shouldn't be.
"The Lebanese and other people who are cheering for Tel Aviv, including through social media posts, shouldn't be happy," the Speaker said, as he lauded Lebanon's official condemnation of the the attacks on Iran.
President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam had both condemned Israel’s attack on Iran but said that Lebanon must stay out of the conflict because any engagement would be detrimental to the small nation engulfed in an economic crisis and struggling to recover from the latest Israel-Hezbollah war.
Berri condemned last week Israel’s massive attack on Iran, said Israel’s hostile actions in the region "represent a cross-border threat to independent countries and to international security and stability" and accused Israel of "assassinating any effort for establishing the rules of fair and comprehensive peace in the world and in the Middle East region."
