Berri Urges Internal Solutions, Says 'Greater Mideast Scheme' Has Begun
Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri on Wednesday warned that “the grave economic situation is not less important than the political situations,” calling for “organizing our domestic situation amid the dangerous developments in the region.”
“Contacts are still underway over the electoral law but there is nothing new until the moment,” MPs quoted Berri as saying during his weekly Ain el-Tineh meeting with lawmakers.
Also on Wednesday, the speaker noted on his official Facebook page that “the implementation of the Greater Middle East scheme of (late Israeli leader) Shimon Peres has started.”
The scheme stands for “dividing what's already divided and economic cooperation among all the peoples and countries of the region instead of granting the Palestinians a state,” Berri added.
