Beirut, November 9 (Xinhua) — Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri said on Saturday that "normalizing relations with Israel is out of the question."

In an interview with the Lebanese newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat, N. Barry emphasized that all interested parties, including Lebanon, Israel, the United States, France, and the UN, should participate in indirect negotiations.

“There is no objection to the involvement of civilian experts when necessary, as was the case during the demarcation of the Blue Line in 2000, when geological and cartographic experts were consulted,” he said.

“All Israeli threats and airstrikes will not change our position on this issue,” he added.

A ceasefire has been in effect between Hezbollah and Israel since November 27, 2024. However, the Israeli army continues to periodically strike Lebanon, claiming its actions are aimed at countering Hezbollah "threats" and maintaining forces at five key positions along the Lebanese border.

Three Israeli airstrikes on Saturday hit three vehicles in the eastern and southern parts of the country, killing three people and wounding 11 others, Lebanon's official news agency reported.
