Lebanon’s parliament speaker Nabih Berri says he will agree to the withdrawal of Hezbollah from southern Lebanon if Israeli troops simultaneously leave the territory they currently occupy in the country, Reuters reports.
In written comments distributed by his office, Berri criticises the US-mediated ceasefire framework announced this week as “unfair”, saying it should have included an “unconditional ceasefire by land, sea and air.”
He adds that he “agrees to … Hezbollah’s withdrawal from south of the Litani River, in parallel with the Israeli withdrawal from the areas it occupied.”
