MP Elias Bou Saab: Resolution 1701 does not grant Israel freedom of movement within Lebanon - LBC

Deputy Parliament Speaker MP Elias Bou Saab expressed cautious optimism about the possibility of a ceasefire following a meeting of the Parliament Bureau. 


While he noted hope and optimism, he emphasized that "nothing can be certain with a figure like Netanyahu, and the battlefield alone might force him to change his stance."  

Bou Saab highlighted that Israel intensifies its aggression whenever it senses a potential agreement, but this does not deter Speaker Nabih Berri from holding firm on matters of Lebanese sovereignty, including adherence to Resolution 1701. 

"We are nearing the decisive moment for a ceasefire," he stated.
