Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri met in Ain al-Tineh with head of the five-member committee stemming from the ceasefire mechanism, U.S. General Joseph Clearfield, accompanied by a military delegation, in the presence of U.S. Chargé d’Affaires Keith Hennigan and Berri’s media adviser Ali Hamdan. Discussions covered field developments in southern Lebanon and the committee’s ongoing work.
Berri raised with General Clearfield Israel’s continued daily aggressions, including air raids targeting civilians and economic, industrial, and agricultural infrastructure across southern Lebanon, as well as its occupation of wide Lebanese areas along the border, clear violations of the ceasefire agreement and obstruction of UN Resolution 1701.
General Clearfield outlined the committee’s upcoming agenda and mechanisms, expressing hope for tangible progress toward achieving a lasting ceasefire and Israel’s withdrawal from occupied Lebanese territories.
Berri also met with former Prime Minister Najib Mikati to review the general situation and latest political and field developments.
Among his visitors was LAU President Dr. Chaouki Abdallah, accompanied by senior university officials, who announced that the university’s New York campus had received an official license to issue U.S.-accredited degrees, a first for Lebanon. The delegation also invited Berri to a dinner marking the centenary of LAU Medical Center–Rizk Hospital.
Separately, Speaker Berri called for a general parliamentary session at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, to continue reviewing draft laws and proposals listed on the September 29 session agenda.
