Israel’s raid on Beirut aims to dismantle UN resolution: Lebanon
1 April 2025 12:26 BST
The Lebanese Speaker of Parliament, Nabih Berri, has slammed Israel’s strike on Beirut’s southern suburbs, calling it an “attempt with fire, blood, and destruction to assassinate the UN resolution and demolish its implementation mechanism.”
In a social media post on Facebook, Berri condemned the attack, which came during Eid al-Fitr and followed a string of Israeli violations, as part of a broader effort to destabilise Lebanon and weaken its institutions.
He stressed that Lebanon has upheld its ceasefire commitments, while Israel continues to violate the agreement. He urged the international community to act, hold Israel accountable, and push for an end to the aggression.
