Nabih Berri: The Lebanese Army is a Red Line and Rejects Ending UNIFIL's Mission or Replacing It

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri rejected targeting the army and its commander, affirming that this is a crime and a major sin. In response to a question from "Al-Joumhouria," he said: "As I have previously affirmed on more than one occasion, the army is a red line."

In response to another question, Berri reaffirmed his commitment to Resolution 1701, warning of the risks of ending "UNIFIL"'s mission in southern Lebanon, while simultaneously confirming his rejection of accepting the deployment of any alternative forces to "UNIFIL" outside the framework of the United Nations.
