Lebanese Speaker Nabih Berri told those who don’t want resistance that they must first end the Israeli occupation.

“Those who do not want the Resistance must first put an end to occupation,” Speaker Berri said at a ceremony during which he received Elias Hrawy Foundation’s award for his patriotic role.

“We will not surrender one grain of our soil and we will not give up our [right] to demarcate our border with the Zionist entity. Those who do not want the Resistance must put an end to occupation,” Berri stressed.

“We cannot accept advice as the Israeli premier inspects his army which is conducting maneuvers that resemble an attack on the South,” the speaker affirmed, adding that Lebanon’s national defense strategy must be based on safeguarding the country’s land and resources.
