Lebanese parliamentary Speaker Nabih Berri yesterday criticised Arab governments for equivocating over what position to take in the face of Israel's offensive on Lebanon, a statement said. "Arab regimes are hesitating," he said in the statement read by Lebanese deputy Yassin Jaber to parliamentarians during an extraordinary session of the Arab Parliamentary Union in Cairo at Arab League headquarters. "They are scared and barely lift a finger in the face of what is happening in Lebanon and Palestine," the statement added. Berri accused Arab regimes of ignoring the situation in Lebanon "even though they know well that the resistance of the Lebanese and the Palestinians constitutes the only front which defends all Arab countries and the dignity of our people". League Secretary General Amr Mussa, also present at the meeting, criticised Arab governments for their "weak and divided" positions.
