Lebanon's Nabih Berri says Israeli war 'most dangerous phase' in country's history

The speaker of Lebanon's parliament, Nabih Berri, said on Wednesday the war with Israel had been the "most dangerous phase" his country had endured in its history, hours after a ceasefire came into effect.

Berri called for displaced people to "return to your lands" as he urged unity amongst the Lebanese people and called for presidential elections as soon as possible.
