Ali Hassan Khalil: Our Battle is with Israel and Not Local Parties

Speaker Nabih Berri's advisor MP Ali Hassan Khalil reassured the Lebanese that the battle of the March 8 forces was with the Israeli enemy and not with any local party.

All parties "should unify because the real danger on Lebanon and all the Lebanese comes from the Israeli enemy which is seeking to shatter Lebanon and the region," Khalil said.

All sides should consolidate internal unity, the resistance and the army to confront dangers, he said.

Lebanon is capable of overcoming the current crisis, the MP said despite the challenge of the indictment that will be issued by the prosecutor of the international tribunal.

He stressed the March 8 forces were not afraid of the indictment but were concerned over attempts to use it for stirring more internal divisions.

Berri's advisor confirmed that Syrian-Saudi efforts to resolve the crisis are ongoing and "heading in the right direction."
