Lebanese Speaker Nabih Berri stresses that the issue of resistance is “not for discussion” since the Israeli aggression still exists.
Marking the 33rd anniversary of Imam Moussa Sadr’s disappearance, Amal Movement staged a mass rally in the northeastern city of Baalbek.
The Speaker said during the rally: “it is unacceptable that we be stripped of our weapons as Israel violates Resolution 1701”.
He reiterated his call for dialogue under Taef accord, assuring that the pact serves coexistence rather than sectarianism.
“UNACCEPTABLE TO HARM ARMY”
On the other hand, Berri responded to the campaigns launched against the national army.
“It is unacceptable to harm the army, unless you want to get rid of the army and the resistance”.
He also renewed the commitment to the “magical recipe”, equation of army-people-resistance.
“We will to commit to other than this defense strategy”.
"CONSPIRACIES PLOTTED AGAINST SYRIA"
On the Syrian conflict, Berri said there were some parts who have established operation rooms, armed Syrian groups and put plans.
He stressed that “Syria is a key to war and key to stability in the region”.
“We should not get involved in the conspiracies being plotted against Syria … as a possible partitioning of Syria would pose a threat to Lebanon, Iraq and Turkey”.
LIBYAN REGIME OFFICIALS WILL BE PUT ON TRIAL
Concerning the case of Imam Sadr’s disappearance, Speaker said that Amal Movement has been seeking any information possible on this crime.
“We are confident that the regime’s officials will be put on trial and we are yearning for the moment of truth”.
“We have asked the government to form a committee on Libya. Three years ago, a judge had issued an arrest warrant for Gadhafi, but due to the vacancies in the Judicial Council’s board, a council session was never held, that’s why we urge the government to expedite the case and the bring the criminals to justice by appointing a new Judicial Council chief”.
Berri also appreciated the remarks of Libya’s National Transitional Council (NTC) chief Mustafa Abdul Jalil who said earlier that Imam Sadr’s issue was a priority, adding that the movement has asked the rebels to interrogate the officials of the ousted regime.
