Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni meets Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri

Lebanese Parliament Speaker on Friday met Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni at his office in Beirut during her visit to Lebanon. During the meeting, Georgia slammed attacks on United Nations peacekeepers as unacceptable after the UN force accused Israeli troops of firing at their positions in south Lebanon.

Georgia, to visit Lebanon since an escalation between Israel and Hezbollah started last month, demanded the protection of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, which includes Italian peacekeepers.
