Berri reportedly warns that 'residents' may act to liberate 5 points
In his latest meeting with the ambassadors of the five-nation group for Lebanon, Speaker Nabih Berri asked U.S. Ambassador Lisa Johnson and French Ambassador Herve Magro about their countries’ pledges regarding the ceasefire in Lebanon, reiterating that “Hezbollah has committed to the agreement while Israel is carrying out with its attacks,” a media report said.
“Johnson responded that Washington would carry out the necessary contacts, prompting Berri to tell her, ‘Don’t embarrass us any further,’” An-Nahar newspaper reported on Friday.
“Israel must first withdraw from the five points and residents cannot be prevented from heading to these sites to work on liberating them as long as they have not returned to their towns, especially the border towns,” Berri reportedly added.

Maybe it is time that the Speaker of Parliament was arrested and charged with incitement to armed revolt again the state.
It truly is a shame that the Speaker chooses to speak as-if it were he that was elected President of the nation.
It will truly be a shame if, following his repeated words, fellow citizens take-up arms in the South independent of the President's command and the LAF chain of command.
It would be truly a shame if the Speaker's political future and legacy were the first casualty of citizen's stepping-out so.
