Speaker Berri to Asharq Al-Awsat: US pushing to extend ceasefire

Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri said that there is a U.S. effort underway to extend the ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel.

Meanwhile, President Joseph Aoun confirmed that bilateral negotiations will be handled by Lebanon through a delegation headed by Ambassador Simon Karam, stressing that no party will participate on Lebanon’s behalf or replace it in this mission.

U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon Michel Issa visited both Aoun and Berri following his return to Beirut for the first time since the announcement of a temporary 10-day truce, without making any public statements.

However, Berri told Asharq Al-Awsat that Washington is actively working to extend the ceasefire, while declining to disclose his position on the direct negotiations with Israel planned by the president.
