Berri tells Barrack Israeli pullout 'gateway to stability'

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri on Monday asked visiting U.S. envoy Tom Barrack about Israel’s commitment to the ceasefire agreement and its withdrawal from Lebanon, stressing that “this is the gateway to stability in Lebanon and an opportunity to launch reconstruction and pave the way for residents’ return to their towns, in addition to securing the requirements for supporting the Lebanese Army.”

Barrack for his part said they discussed how to reach prosperity across Lebanon and for all Lebanese, adding that Berri is “bright, intelligent” and has an “amazing history.”

“We’re all moving in the right direction,” Barrack added.
