A meeting between representatives of President Joseph Aoun, Speaker Nabih Berri and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam has been underway at the Baabda Palace since Monday morning, Al-Jadeed TV reported in the afternoon.

Lebanon seeks guarantees that Israeli forces fully withdraw from Lebanese territory in response to a U.S. demand that Beirut formally commit to disarming militant group Hezbollah, a Lebanese official said Monday.

Lebanese leaders who took office in the aftermath of a war between Israel and Hezbollah last year have repeatedly vowed a state monopoly on bearing arms while demanding Israel comply with a November ceasefire that ended the fighting.

Hezbollah political bureau member Mahmoud Qmati has said that a deadline must be set for Israel and not for Hezbollah, calling again for Israel's halt of attacks and withdrawal from south Lebanon before demanding Hezbollah to disarm.

Quorum was maintained Monday after the MPs of the Lebanese Forces and the Kataeb Party and some Change and independent MPs walked out of parliament after a bill related to expat voting was not put on the agenda.
