Berri says Israeli claims of arms smuggling from Syria 'mere lies'
Speaker Nabih Berri on Tuesday said Hezbollah “has fully committed to the ceasefire agreement” with Israel.
Berri added that the Lebanese Army has deployed in the South Litani region with more than 9,000 soldiers and officers, noting that the army can deploy up to the international border but pointing out that “what is obstructing that is the continued Israeli occupation of vast parts of southern Lebanese territory.”
“But the question that should be asked is when, where and how has Israel committed to a single clause of the ceasefire agreement?” the Speaker said.
Berri also revealed that U.S. envoy Morgan Ortagus had mentioned two things during her latest visit to Beirut: the Israeli claims about arms smuggling from Syria and the issue of negotiations.
“What Israel is alleging about weapons from Syria is mere lies, and the U.S. -- which controls the skies with its satellites and other means -- knows that,” Berri added.
As for negotiations, Berri said the ceasefire monitoring committee, known as the Mechanism, “should meet in a periodic manner.”
“The help of civilian or military experts can be sought should the need arise, in the vein of what happened in the delineating of the Blue Line or the maritime border,” the Speaker added.
As for the possibility of normalization with Israel, Berri said he is confident that the Lebanese would reject such a move.

NO PERSON IN HISTORY HURT SHIA MORE THAN BERRI. Sounds crazy but absolutely true. Imagine where Iran & Shia would be today if Green Revolution (Cedar Revolution Twin) succeeded in 2010 & Iran criminal regime replaced by democratic regime that pursued regional peace and human rights. Iran, one of oldest & greatest civilization on earth, blessed with educated & prosperous diaspora & unmatched natural resources would’ve become the intellectual, economic & industrial giant of the region. Green Revolution almost succeeded until stabbed in the back by Obama & Berri. All what Iranians wanted was the same democracy Lebanese Shia had. G.S. begged Berri to call for a human chain from Tyr to Tripoli in support of Green Revolution. Instead, he supported the Basij that assassinated thousands of reformers & would’ve killed Imam Saddr if alive. Reformers suppression enshrined worst brutal & oppressive regime in human history thanks to Berri worst curse on Shia!

NABIH BERRI IS RESPONSIBLE FOR LEBANON MISERY by giving Hezbollah (Iran Foreign Brigade) green light to destroy Lebanon for Iran’s nuclear nirvana & regional hegemony. Berri used Hizb black shirts to blackmail Lebanon & establish his political mafia. While Hizb is a criminal organization, a virulent cancer & zombie army that must be irradicated for Lebanon to survive, Berri is dean of corruption. Berri & cronies should be in jail with Hizb thugs. Amal needs a true heir of great Imam Saddr. The immediate cost of Isnad War is $17 billion or 3 yrs salary of 1 million Lebanese. Lebanon after Cedar Revolution had GNP of $60 billion & Beirut was envy of Arab World. Our GNP should be today over $200 billion with higher standard of living than Saudis & dominant regional banking, education, tech services & media sectors instead of $20 B, bankrupt economy & worthless lira. Duo victims are millions, primarily Shia. Must sue Berri, associates & Iran for damage to start restitution!
