Lebanon's Parliament Speaker Warns of Resistance Against Israeli Forces

Lebanon's Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri issued a stern warning on Tuesday to Israeli forces occupying southern parts of the country, stating they would face resistance unless they withdraw. His statement comes ahead of crucial U.S.-mediated talks set for this week.

The warning underscores fragile peace in the region, following a 10-day ceasefire brokered by Washington. Israeli forces have established a buffer zone to defend against Hezbollah attacks. Meanwhile, Berri insists no land will be ceded.

Such tensions complicate diplomatic efforts between the U.S., Iran, and regional actors. The situation remains closely watched as Lebanon advocates for diplomatic resolutions and Hezbollah's disarmament.
