As-Safir newspaper quoted on Wednesday Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri as asking the Lebanese authorities to deal with the information regarding former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri’s assassination revealed by Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Monday.
Nasrallah presented alleged evidence of Israeli involvement in the 2005 assassination of former PM Hariri, including footage he said came from Israeli Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) monitoring Rafik Hariri and a confession from a suspected Israeli spy.
Berri said that the Lebanese army had the right to receive weapons and he was surprised by Washington’s ban to use these arms against Israel, as the speaker said he believed the US wants them to be used in a new Lebanese civil war.
Top US Congressman Howard Berman, also the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, decided to put on hold $100 million in military aid to Lebanon following last week’s Aadaiseh border clashes.
