Great, now that the matter has advanced so far, let us see how the Speaker of Parliament, Berri, speaks out against the Government of the country he is supposed to serve.
Perhaps the Government will now be able to "invite" other countries to send forces "boots on the ground" to replace the Israeli forces in the fight to free the country from the Iranian-proxy Hizballah terrorists, something UNIFIL are unable or more likely unwilling to do.
