Title: Berri: Lebanon Has Overcome a "Significant Challenge" in Khaldeh

Sources close to House Speaker Nabih Berri reported to "Al-Joumhouria" that he confirmed Lebanon has surpassed a "significant challenge" in Khaldeh. Well-informed political sources indicated to the newspaper that "what happened in Khaldeh and the subsequent political and sectarian exploitation is the result of the recklessness of some internal parties and competition for polarization and populism." They added, "The rivalry among certain political forces nearly led to a regrettable conflict," emphasizing that "this critical phase requires the utmost wisdom."
