Berri says Lebanese remarks over Hochstein's proposal are minor
Speaker Nabih Berri has said that Lebanon’s remarks over the sea border demarcation proposal presented by U.S. mediator Amos Hochstein are “minor,” hours after Israel rejected them through an unnamed senior official.
“Lebanon does not deal with media leaks, but rather with facts that are supposed to be carried by U.S. envoy Amos Hochstein, with whom our contacts are exclusively taking place,” Berri said in remarks to Asharq al-Awsat newspaper published Friday.
“The Lebanese remarks are minor and had been discussed with the U.S. envoy before they were officially sent,” Berri added.
He also noted that “what’s happening now are domestic Israeli electoral skirmishes that do not concern us,” adding that “Lebanon is awaiting an official response from Hochstein to act accordingly.”
