<p><strong>Maan News Agency | Sept 24, 2011</strong></p>
<p>BEIRUT (Ma&#8217;an) &#8212; The speaker of the Lebanese parliament on Saturday criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu&#8217;s address to the UN General Assembly in New York on Friday.</p>
<p>Netanyahu told world leaders that the UN had become a &#8220;theater of the absurd&#8221; as &#8220;Hezbollah-controlled Lebanon&#8221; held presidency of the UN Security Council.</p>
<p>&#8220;This means, in effect, that a terror organization presides over the body entrusted with guaranteeing the world&#8217;s security,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>Nabih Berri responded that the state presiding over the Security Council &#8220;is not Hezbollah, President Michel Sleiman or Prime Minister Najib Mikati … but it is Lebanon, which was slaughtered (by the Israelis) in 1996,&#8221; the news site Now Lebanon reported.</p>
<p>&#8220;We reassure Netanyahu that the Lebanon that beat (Israeli) aggression in the South will also be a resistant at the UN Security Council,” Berri said in a statement issued Saturday, according to the news site.</p>
