During all its wars against Lebanon, Israel targeted civilians and attempted to create a rift between the state and the Resistance

Speaker Nabih Berri indicated on Monday evening that the real danger is in the ambitions of Israel and its wars against Lebanon adding in a speech during an Iftar at Biel in downtown Beirut that we must consider the disarmament of Zionism, not the Resistance, as an urgent national goal.

Berri said that some did not derive lessons from Israeli wars, but instead called for disarming the Resistance, in reference to the western-backed March 14 parties’ calls to disarm Hezbollah.

During all its wars against Lebanon, Israel “targeted civilians and attempted to create a rift between the state and the Resistance,” Berri said.

The speaker also called for finalizing the decrees pertaining to the oil exploration bill which the parliament approved in August 2010.

Berri said that Lebanon’s decision to abstain from voting on the UN Security Council presidential statement pertaining to the crisis in Syria, aimed at distancing Lebanon and facilitated issuing “a balanced statement that calls for reform and the halt of dissension in Syria.”

“The region is being formed all over again, and Lebanon is not far from that.”
