Le Drian meets Berri in Ain el-Tineh
by Naharnet Newsdesk 8 hours French special envoy to Lebanon Jean-Yves Le Drian met Tuesday with Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri in Ain el-Tineh. Berri urged Paris to "help Lebanon confront the conspiracy that is being plotted against UNIFIL, Lebanon and its south," hours after United Nations peacekeepers said rock-throwing individuals confronted them during a patrol on Tuesday in south Lebanon. Such incidents have increased in recent weeks, with residents insisting that any UNIFIL patrol should be accompanied by Lebanese Army troops. Le Drian will meet with other Lebanese officials on Tuesday. His visit aims to "continue discussions with Lebanese officials on subjects of common interest, particularly reforms and reconstruction," French ambassador Hervé Magro said. Le Drian will also discuss Hezbollah's weapons and the implementation of United Nations Security Council resolution 1701, local media reports said.
