Milan, 29 June (LaPresse) – The Speaker of the Lebanese Parliament and Hezbollah ally, Nabih Berri, has stated that the trilateral framework agreement between Lebanon, Israel and the United States will not be approved as it does not guarantee Lebanon’s rights. “This agreement will not be approved and will not be implemented in its current form,” Berri said in a statement issued by his party, the Amal Movement, and reported by local media, adding that it is “an agreement of impositions, not one that safeguards Lebanon’s rights”. The agreement paves the way for peace between Lebanon and Israel and makes Israel’s withdrawal from Lebanon conditional on the disarmament of Hezbollah. Hezbollah has rejected the agreement, warning that it could trigger a civil war.
