On the occasion of May 1, Labor Day, Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri issued the following: On International Workers’ Day, all solidarity and sympathy with Lebanon’s workers, employers, self-employed professionals, farmers, peasants, paramedics, medical and nursing staff, and media professionals in the Bekaa and the southern suburbs, especially those steadfast in the south and those who were unjustly expelled from their homes as a result of Israeli aggression, which has transformed and continues to transform, with its internationally banned weapons and ammunition, their sources of livelihood. Their fields, homes and factories were burned to the ground in a precedent the likes of which humanity has never witnessed. President Berri added: Greetings, pride and appreciation to the martyred workers and to all the martyrs who drew a red line with their blood in the face of the yellow line of occupation, stressing that the land is our dignity, our honor and our right that is superior and unsurpassable, no matter how heavy the sacrifices are. The President of the Council continued: May 1 of this year, with all the pain and anguish it brings, must be an open national call to the state with all its powers, and to the international community and its human rights and justice organizations, to move to compel Israel to stop its aggression immediately before anything else, and to accelerate the formation of an international fact-finding committee on the crimes that the Israeli occupation forces continue to carry out and document in audio and video in a systematic manner against workers and their places of work, especially farmers among them in the southern border areas and south of the River. Litani. President Berri concluded: Glory to the workers, mercy to the martyred workers and all the martyrs, and prayers for the wounded for a speedy recovery.
