Berri Says Unity is 'Weapon' that Can Liberate Land

W300

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri on Friday said unity among the Lebanese can be a “weapon” that can liberate Lebanese territory still occupied by Israel.

“The Liberation Day is a day to glorify those who planted their bodies in the homeland's soil. Every martyr is a cedar in a flag and every wounded is a thread in Lebanon's fabric,” Berri said in a statement marking the 18th Resistance and Liberation Day.

“All the greetings go to Lebanon and its people, army and resistance. The weapon of our unity is the guarantee to liberate what's left of our land and water,” the Speaker added.

The Resistance and Liberation Day is a national holiday that marks the withdrawal of Israeli forces from south Lebanon after a 22-year occupation.
