Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri has expressed surprise and criticism over the actions of Lebanese officials following their diplomatic mission to Washington. Berri stated that the officials traveled to the United States with the stated goal of securing a ceasefire in the conflict with Israel. However, he claims they returned to Lebanon and are now taking a stance against Hezbollah, which he implies undermines the ceasefire effort. This internal criticism highlights political divisions within Lebanon regarding the approach to the ongoing hostilities.
