Berri insists on 'Mechanism' as 'framework for ending war'

Speaker Nabih Berri on Tuesday held talks with ex-PMs Najib Mikati, Fouad Saniora and Tammam Salam, discussing with them the political and military developments in Lebanon in light of Israel's continued attacks.

"As for the proposed solutions, Speaker Berri insisted in this regard on the (U.S.-led) Mechanism (ceasefire committee formed in 2024) as a means and framework for implementing the cessation of war," the National News Agency said.

Berri also met Tuesday in Ain el-Tineh with U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon Michel Issa.

The Mechanism committee, sidelined by Israel and the U.S. in recent months, comprises Lebanon, Israel, the U.S., France and UNIFIL.
