Kuwaiti National Assembly Speaker Marzouq al-Ghanim paid a visit on Monday to Syrian refugee encampments in the eastern Bekaa region, reported the National News Agency.

It said that he visited the encampments in the Bar Elias and al-Marj regions.

The Intelligence Branch of the Internal Security Forces is in possession of tapes from security cameras showing two suspects allegedly involved in an assassination plot against Speaker Nabih Berri, As Safir daily reported on Monday.

The newspaper said that the two men, one on foot and the other on a motorcycle, were able in February last year to approach Berri's residence in Beirut's Ain el-Tineh area after the speaker ordered to limit security measures in an attempt to appease residents in nearby buildings.

Speaker Nabih Berri considered on Monday that cooperation between the state institutions doesn't compel the obstruction of all powers if vacuum hits a certain post.

Berri in comments published in As Safir newspaper wondered if “some parties are mulling to adopt a new definition of cooperation” among state powers.

Health Minister Wael Abou Faour described on Sunday relations between Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat and al-Mustaqbal Movement MP Saad Hariri as “good and solid.”

“Even if they have different stances but respect, friendship and cooperation remain,” Abou Faour pointed out.

Telecommunications Minister Burtos Harb lashed out on Sunday at Hizbullah and Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun, accusing them of the presidential crisis.

“Hizbullah is contributing to the presidential deadlock, while the real reason behind the crisis is Michel Aoun,” Harb said in an interview with the Kuwaiti daily al-Anbaa.

Kuwaiti Speaker Marzouq al-Ghanim is scheduled to visit Beirut on Friday to discuss with Lebanese officials the crisis of Syrian refugees, al-Liwaa newspaper reported.

During his two-day visit, al-Ghanim will hold talks with Speaker Nabih Berri and tour with Social Affairs Minister Rashid Derbas encampments of Syrian refugees.

Speaker Nabih Berri renewed his warning against the paralysis of state institutions and hoped that the move of Jihadists on Baghdad would trigger unity among the Lebanese rival parties to confront any possible repercussion.

In remarks to several local newspapers published on Friday, Berri reiterated his criticism of the MPs boycotting parliamentary sessions.

Speaker Nabih Berri has allegedly accused al-Mustaqbal movement of turning against a deal to attend a parliamentary session on the controversial wage hike, warning that lack of quorum puts the entire political system in danger.

According to several local dailies, Berri said this was “not the first time that the movement was revolting against a positive atmosphere or agreements” aimed at resolving certain crises.

Prime Minister Tammam Salam expressed optimism regarding the cabinet session set to be held on Thursday, stressing that he doesn't want to “challenge” any party.

“Consultations are ongoing with all parties and I have no will to exclude anyone amid the tough situation,” Salam said in comments published in al-Mustaqbal newspaper on Wednesday.

Prime Minister Tammam Salam denied on Tuesday that the United States warned of the repercussions of establishing Syrian refugee camps on Lebanese territories.

Sources close to the PM ruled out in comments published in the pan-Arab daily Asharq al-Awsat that the U.S. Secretary of State, John Kerry, informed Salam during a meeting last week that his country rejects the establishment of camps for Syrians on Lebanese territories.
