Lebanese Parliament Speaker Criticizes America’s Destructive Stance Towards UNIFIL.
Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, in a speech criticizing the US position towards the UN peacekeeping forces in Lebanon (UNIFIL), said: The mechanism that includes UNIFIL forces is headed by an American general, so how is it possible for someone whose mission is to stabilize the ceasefire to undermine his mission?
Nabih Berri continued his speech by adding: Despite the US mediation to stop the war, we are surprised by the counterproductive efforts that target the existence of UNIFIL and its mission in Lebanon.
Images have also been published in Lebanese media showing residents of the town of Deir Saryan in southern Lebanon protesting the entry of UNIFIL forces into the town without the accompaniment of army forces.
