Lebanese Parliament Speaker and Hezbollah ally Nabih Berri says that the trilateral framework agreement between Lebanon, Israel and the United States will not pass as it doesn’t guarantee Lebanon’s rights.
“This agreement will not pass, and it will not be implemented in its current form,” Berri says in a statement shared by his party, the Amal movement, adding that it was “an agreement of dictates, not an agreement that preserves Lebanon’s rights.”
The deal paves the way for Lebanese-Israeli peace and conditions Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon on Hezbollah’s disarmament. Hezbollah has dismissed the agreement, warning that it has the potential to trigger a civil war.
