Berri Reaffirms Hezbollah Non-Interference in Iran-Israel Conflict

Speaker’s Stance

In a recent statement, **Nabih Berri**, Speaker of the House of Representatives, underscored that **Hezbollah** will not engage in the war between Iran and Israel, stating this with absolute certainty. He explained that the most important lesson for international parties is to recommence American-Iranian dialogue, as a resolution is vital to stop the conflict and Israeli actions against Iran, thus establishing a secure environment for a deal regarding Iran’s nuclear program.

The Speaker’s position aligns with that of the President of the Republic, General **Joseph Aoun**, and the government of **Nawaf Salam**. They, along with other parties, are dedicated to restoring regional and Lebanese stability, moving away from any sensationalism. This involves compelling Israel to end hostilities, specifically to pull out from the south, in accordance with the “1701” resolution.

“Hezbollah is steadfast on its position not to engage in the war and its failure to provide excuses for Israel by luring it to expand its war on Lebanon in an unbalanced confrontation.”

—Nabih Berri, Speaker of the House

According to a recent report, the Middle East faces increasing instability, with over 60% of the population expressing concerns about the escalation of regional conflicts (Pew Research Center 2024).

Regional Dynamics

Reports indicate that Washington’s involvement alongside Tel Aviv in its war on Iran has prompted heightened communications between “Amal” movement leaders and **Hezbollah**, as well as among the latter and the Lebanese state. These communications are focused on assessing the emerging political situation in the region and Lebanon, to discuss actions needed to retain stability and ensure Lebanon stays out of the regional conflict.

These sources confirm that **Hezbollah** remains firm in its stance. They won’t participate in the war, nor will they give Israel a reason to broaden the conflict into Lebanon. The movement aims to avoid an unbalanced confrontation, even though Israel continues to violate the ceasefire.

The “Shiite duo’s” stance is consistent with its initial solidarity with Iran, evolving alongside Washington’s intervention. **Berri** emphasized that the party did not enter the war, speaking on behalf of his ally, removing any potential for misinterpretation regarding any disagreements.
