Nabih Berri, Speaker of the Lebanese Parliament, thanked Iran and the United States for including a clause in the memorandum of understanding stating that Israel will cease its aggression throughout Lebanon, according to a report from a Telegram news channel. Berri also praised Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt for their efforts to achieve the MOU.
Nabih Berri, the Speaker of the Lebanese Parliament and a key Hezbollah-aligned figure, publicly thanked Iran and the United States for including a clause in the emerging US-Iran memorandum of understanding that stipulates Israel will cease its 'aggression' throughout Lebanon. The statement, reported by a Telegram news channel on Monday morning, also saw Berri praise Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt for their diplomatic efforts toward finalizing the MOU.
The remark follows a flurry of reports about the evolving framework. As The Zioneer reported on Friday, a US official described the MOU as covering 'the entire region, including Lebanon,' and expressed confidence Israel would join. Earlier, Iran's Foreign Minister Araghchi demanded that any agreement encompass all fronts, especially Lebanon, and multiple reports have indicated the deal includes an immediate Lebanon ceasefire.
Berri's phrasing — 'Israel will cease its aggression throughout Lebanon' — echoes Tehran's framing of the terms. It remains unclear whether Israel has agreed to such language or the mechanism for a cessation of hostilities. No official Israeli or US confirmation of Berri's specific characterization has been released.
