Lebanese Speaker Nabih Berri expressed his concern on Monday that "some people are refusing to respond to his initiative, waiting to see how the war will end."

In an interview with "Al-Joumhouria," he noted that "some are wasting time and opportunities if they are counting on the current conflict weakening the “Hezbollah” and the Amal Movement."

He added, "The response that Israel has been anxiously awaiting for days is inevitable, retaliation is a dish best served cold."
