Lebanon’s Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri has slammed Israel\u2019s plans to construct a wall along his country’s border, saying the structure violates the Lebanese sovereignty.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

\n\tDuring his weekly meeting with Lebanese lawmakers,\u00a0Berri said the barrier stretches from the villages of Ras al-Naqoura to Aalma ech\u00a0Chaab\u00a0in its western side and from Adaisseh\u00a0to Kafr Kila\u00a0in its eastern sector, Lebanon\u2019s\u00a0Naharnet<\/em>\u00a0news portal\u00a0reported.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Israeli regime is pushing ahead with the plan despite opposition voiced by\u00a0the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), the top Lebanese parliamentarian said.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAlthough the UNIFIL commander has asked the Israeli side not to build any structure in disputed areas, the Israeli maps show that the wall will go through these areas \u2026 not to mention that the building of this wall will require bulldozing, drilling and excavation works in agricultural areas owned by Lebanese citizens,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\n\tBack in June, the Saudi-owned daily Asharq al-Awsat unveiled plans by the Israeli regime to build a cement wall along Lebanon’s southern frontier.<\/p>\n

\n\tIsrael has allocated $34.9 million for the project, the report said, adding, in some areas, the wall will be 7 meters high with barbed wire on top, and in others, cameras will be installed in addition to watch towers and command centers.<\/p>\n

\n\tElsewhere in his remarks, Berri condemned a recent visit by Israeli settlers, escorted by troops, to Lebanon\u2019s\u00a0Shebaa Farms as a \u201cblatant violation of Lebanon’s sovereignty,” underlining the need for filing a complaint with the UN.<\/p>\n

\n\tIsrael launched two wars on Lebanon in 2000 and 2006, in both of which Hezbollah fighters inflicted heavy losses on the regime\u2019s military.\u00a0Over the past months, Israeli officials have threatened another war on Lebanon.<\/p>\n

\n\tIsrael regularly violates UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which ended the 2006 war with Hezbollah.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn September,\u00a0Lebanese President Michel Aoun censured Israel\u2019s repeated violations of his country\u2019s sovereignty in an address to the UN General Assembly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
