Resistance Not Subject to Bargaining
Speaker Nabih Berri said he was committed to the offer which calls for setting up a committee to abolish political sectarianism.
In remarks published Tuesday by the daily As-Safir, Berri stressed that the resistance issue was not a subject for bargaining.
"I will not back down on this demand because the issue is not only linked to the future of Lebanon but to its resurrection," Berri thought.
He refused to link the issue of abolishing political sectarianism to create a kind of "balance" with resistance weapons, stressing that
"Let it be known that the resistance is a non-negotiable issue for me," Berri said.
The resistance, he added, is a "strategic choice that is not subject to bargaining."
