Lebanon parl. speaker calls for election of new president
Lebanon’s parliament speaker Nabih Berri called Wednesday on those displaced by Israel’s war on Lebanon to return home as a ceasefire took hold, also urging the swift election of a new president.
“I invite you to return to your homes… return to your land,” said Berri.
“Lebanon is still standing and I thank the friendly countries that stood by Lebanon,” the speaker said.
He also called for the country to “quickly elect a president” as political bickering has left Lebanon without a head of state for over two years.
“Today, all countries should shoulder responsibility towards Lebanon and its prosperity,” he added.
