Berri tells US generals Israeli violations harming state's recovery
Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri held talks Wednesday in Ain el-Tineh with the new head of the ceasefire monitoring committee, U.S. major general Michael Leeney, who was accompanied by the committee’s outgoing head Major General Jasper Jeffers.
During the meeting, Berri lamented “the persistent Israeli attacks and violations,” noting that “the Lebanese side has committed to everything requested from it, whereas the Israeli side is not committed to the ceasefire and has not withdrawn from the territory it is still occupying in the South.”
“The continued Israeli aggression and violations are harming the state’s recovery process in terms of stability, reforms and sovereignty,” Berri warned.
He also called on the U.S. to “work on compelling Israel to immediately implement the agreement.”
Major General Leeney for his part assured that the committee will hold periodic meetings to follow up on the situation.

Lebanon is in constant violation of the ceasefire agreement in that it has not confiscated Hezbollah's (and Palestinian) arms. Aoun has said that the army is not strong enough as yet to do so. Until it is, Israel will need to enforce the agreement on its own.
