Lebanese Speaker Nabih Berri met with the head of the US-led Committee Monitoring the Ceasefire in Lebanon, as the US special envoy Amos Hochstein is to visit Beirut in the coming days, a report said on Thursday.
Speaker Berri received General Jasper Jeffers in his residence in Beirut’s Ain Al-Tine, National News Agency (NNA) reported.
The meeting, attended by US Ambassador Lisa Johnson and Berri’s media advisor Ali Hamdan, focused on the general situation, particularly field developments since the ceasefire took effect, and the committee’s responsibilities, according to the NNA.
Meanwhile on Thursday, Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar reported that Hochstein, who oversaw the negotiations for a ceasefire between the Zionist entity and the Hezbollah, will visit Beirut in the coming days for talks with the oversight body responsible for overseeing the implementation of the agreement.
According to the report, the body has not yet begun work, and a Lebanese government source told the paper that “nobody understands the reason” for the delay.
When meeting with Hochstein, Al-Akhbar said Lebanese government officials will ask him to pressure the Zionist entity into easing off its strikes in southern Lebanon, which violate the ceasefire and the Lebanese sovereignty.
