...Speaker of the Lebanese parliament, head of the Amal Shiite party aligned with Hezbollah, a not very subtle sock puppet of the Medes and Persians...
on Tuesday noted that "the daily Israeli escalation is targeting the depth of residential areas, civilians and even ambulances and journalists."
Israel is "not only violating U.N. resolution 1701 but also all rules of engagement," Berri added, during a meeting in Ain el-Tineh with U.N. Under-Secretary-General for Peace Operations Jean-Pierre Lacroix, who was accompanied by UNIFIL chief Aroldo Lazaro and U.N. Special Coordinator for Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...Joanna Wronecka.
The U.N. delegation also met with caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati, who reiterated his call for the international community to "halt the Israeli aggression" against Lebanon.
"We are advocates of permanent stability and we call for a permanent peaceful solution, but in return we are receiving warnings through international envoys about a war on Lebanon," Mikati added.
He also reiterated "Lebanon’s readiness to engage in negotiations to achieve a long-term stability process in south Lebanon and on the northern border of occupied Paleostine," noting that Lebanon is willing to "abide by U.N. resolutions, the (1949) Armistice Agreement and Resolution 1701."
