Hamas deputy chief Saleh al-Arouri meets in Beirut with Nabih Berri, the speaker of Lebanon’s parliament and a Hezbollah ally.
The Hamas leader, accompanied by other members of the Gaza-ruling terror group’s political bureau, including Ghazi Hamad, speaks with Berri about the ongoing conflict with Israel and the need to allow humanitarian convoys into Gaza.
Berri, head of the Shiite Amal movement, congratulates Hamas for its brutal onslaught against Israel on October 7, in which 1,400 Israelis were killed, most of them civilians.
