Lebanese Speaker Nabih Berri received on Tuesday former premiers whom he told them that he insisted on the Mechanism committee as a framework for implementing ceasefire.
Speaker Berri received former PMs Najib Mikati, Fuad Siniora and Tammam Salam in his residence at Ain Al-Tineh, AL-Manar correspondent reported.
“I insist on the Mechanism as a framework for implementing a ceasefire,” Speaker Berri told the ex-PMs, according to our reporter.
For his part, Siniora voiced “full support for the efforts undertaken by President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, with the support of Speaker Nabih Berri, with all international authorities and friendly and brotherly countries to stop the Israeli aggression against Lebanon.”
Meanwhile on Tuesday, Speaker Berri received US Ambassador to Lebanon, Michel Issa.
The Lebanese Parliament Speaker also met Labor Minister Mohammad Haidar and former deputy speaker Elie Al-Firzli.
The Mechanism Committee (formally the International Monitoring and Implementation Mechanism – IMIM) is a five-member, US-chaired body established in late November 2024 to oversee the ceasefire between ‘Israel’ and Lebanon. Composed of the US, France, Lebanon, Israel, and UNIFIL, it monitors the implementation of UN Resolution 1701, including Israeli withdrawals, Hezbollah’s disarmament south of the Litani River, and violations.
However, the Mechanism has been for months silent for Israeli violations of the ceasefire which ended the Israeli aggression on Lebanon between September and November 2024.
Lebanon has been since March 2 (2026) under a brutal Israeli aggression. More than 400 people have been martyred, with nearly 1,000 others being injured in Israeli assaults across south Lebanon, Beirut’s Dahiyeh and Bekaa.
