Lebanon’s Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nabih Berri, who is also the leader of the Amal Movement in Lebanon, has praised the deal agreed between Iran and the US and thanked the two countries for including Lebanon in it, Al Jazeera reports.

In a statement posted on the official page of the Amal Movement, Berri “extended his thanks and appreciation to the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America and their leadership for their adherence and insistence on including in the agreed-upon memorandum a fundamental and binding provision to halt the Israeli aggression on all of Lebanon”.

According to Al Jazeera, Berri added that he hopes this preserves Lebanon’s “sovereignty over its entire territory… and avoids falling into the trap set by the Israeli political echelon under Netanyahu’s leadership”.
