Berri leads a series of meeting in Ain el Tineh
Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri welcomed former Prime Ministers Najib Mikati, Fouad Siniora, and Tammam Salam at Ain el-Tineh. The discussion reportedly touched on the latest developments in Lebanon, particularly the political and field updates, in light of Israel's continued aggression against Lebanon, in addition to the issue of displaced persons.
Regarding the proposed solutions, Speaker Berri insisted on the mechanism as the means and framework for implementing a ceasefire.
Following the meeting, Siniora delivered a statement on behalf of the delegation.
The former premiers condemned what they described as Israel’s ongoing war crimes against Lebanon, including airstrikes, destruction and forced displacement of residents in the south and Beirut’s southern suburbs.
They expressed condolences to the victims and solidarity with displaced Lebanese, calling for national unity and increased support for affected communities.
The delegation also backed government decisions affirming that war and peace must remain the prerogative of the state and that arms should be exclusively in the hands of the Lebanese state across all its territory.
They voiced full support for the efforts of President Joseph Aoun, Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, and Berri to mobilize international support to halt Israeli attacks, and endorsed a new initiative launched by Aoun during a virtual meeting organized by European leaders. They also stressed the importance of preserving Lebanese unity in the face of the country’s current challenges.
On the other hand, Speaker Berri received former Deputy Speaker Elie Ferzli, with whom he discussed the latest political and field developments, as well as national affairs.
Berri later received Minister of Labor Mohammad Haidar, with discussions touching on the general situation, the latest political developments, the displaced persons file, and the Ministry of Labor’s work programs in this regard.
This afternoon, Berri received U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon Michael Issa in Ain el-Tineh. The meeting reviewed developments in Lebanon and the latest political and field updates.
