Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri warned that Israel would face increased resistance if its forces remained deployed in Lebanon, despite the current ceasefire. This statement comes amid ongoing tensions along the border between the two countries.
Israel currently maintains a buffer zone in southern Lebanon, justified by security imperatives aimed at protecting its territory, particularly against Hezbollah activities. This military presence is perceived by the Lebanese authorities as a violation of their sovereignty.
Nabih Berri thus raised the possibility of "daily resistance" if Israeli troops do not withdraw, suggesting an intensification of the fighting. His remarks reflect the internal political pressure in Lebanon regarding the security situation.
On the Israeli side, Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that the army, the IDF, would continue to act to neutralize Hezbollah if the Lebanese authorities did not themselves take measures to disarm the movement.
This verbal confrontation underscores the deep divisions between the two sides regarding security management in the border region. Hezbollah, a central player in these tensions, remains a major concern for Israel.
While the ceasefire remains fragile, these statements could reignite the risk of military escalation. The situation remains closely monitored by the international community, concerned about a possible expansion of the conflict in the Middle East.
