Following today’s unprecedented pager attack, Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri stated that “what Israel did this afternoon is not just a massacre, but rather a clear war crime.”
“The entire world is called upon to take urgent action to rein in the Israeli terror machine, which, if it continues to act with such impunity and criminality, will drag the region and regional security and stability towards grave danger,” he added.
For his part, Former MP and leader of the Progressive Socialist Party (PSP) Walid Jumblatt emphasized the importance of “national solidarity in the face of the unprecedented Israeli aggression that threatens Lebanon’s security and sovereignty.” He stressed the need for the highest levels of unity to confront this Israeli war.
Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati, during his visit to the southern suburbs of Beirut, considered that “what happened today is extremely serious.”
