Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri said that his relation with Prime Minister Najib Miqati is good, rejecting what has been said about a possible argument between the two, after Miqati was seen leaving angry Monday from a meeting with Berri.

Miqati’s circles have also negated the “alleged dispute,” stressing that the relation between Berri and Miqati is good.

Prime Minister Najib Miqati announced Monday evening that he will continue his "missions and efforts," after media reports suggested that he might resign.

Conflicting reports emerged Monday evening on whether or not Prime Minister Najib Miqati intends to resign.

There will be no deal at the expense of the judicial investigation that Judge Tarek Bitar is conducting, sources informed on President Michel Aoun's stances said on Monday.

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri on Monday told visiting U.N. chief Antonio Guterres that Israel does not want a role for the U.N. in the sea border demarcation talks.

Prime Minister Najib Miqati told MTV that he’d rather “wait than confront,” as he does not want to call for a session “without consensus among ministers.”

“I will not go towards a scenario that might cause the resignation (of some ministers) from the government,” Miqati reportedly said, before meeting United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Monday.

The U.N. chief paid tribute Monday to the victims of last year's massive explosion in Beirut's port explosion, expressing solidarity with the families' quest for justice.

The Aug. 4, 2020 blast has been described as one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in the world. It devastated parts of the Lebanese capital, killing at least 216 people and injuring thousands.

A deal that will “bring back” the Cabinet, stop Judge Tarek Bitar from interrogating MPs and repeal the electoral law’s amendments has been concluded between Hizbullah, President Michel Aoun’s camp and Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, MTV reported on Monday.

The settlement, mediated by Hizbullah, entails the Constitutional Council’s approval of the appeal against the electoral law’s amendments, the TV channel said, which would limit expat voting to only six newly-introduced seats instead of voting for all Parliament members.

Lebanon's religious leaders met Monday with United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres during his visit to Lebanon.

A joint communique was issued after the talks in which the conferees confirmed their "commitment to openness, tolerance and coexistence as the essence of Lebanon’s identity and stability."

The Constitutional Council’s decision on how the parliamentary majority should be calculated will determine the fate of the appeal that had been filed against the electoral law’s amendments, informed sources said.

The sources told al-Joumhouria newspaper, in remarks published Monday, that the Constitutional Council’s evaluation of the appeal is determined by the Council’s decision regarding how the parliamentary majority should have been calculated in the session in which the amendments to the electoral law were approved.
