Report: Lebanese response unanimously approved but Berri to have separate one

Report: Lebanese response unanimously approved but Berri to have separate one While it is yet to be known whether President Joseph Aoun, Speaker Nabih Berri and PM Nawaf Salam have decided to distance Lebanon's official response to the U.S. paper from Hezbollah's stance, the response has been unanimously approved by the three leaders, sources close to them said. The Lebanese response 'stresses the need for Israel's withdrawal from all occupied points and territory, while emphasizing the need for guarantees focused on the reconstruction of the South. It also expresses readiness to demarcate the border with Syria without settling the ownership of the occupied Shebaa Farms,' the sources told An-Nahar newspaper. Berri has meanwhile revealed that he will have his own response to the U.S. envoy's paper, the daily said. 'This step is not aimed at bypassing what Barrack will hear from President Aoun and PM Nawaf Salam,' the newspaper added, noting that Lebanon's response will also reflect 'the government's readiness to implement a host of financial and economic reforms.'

Lights Out Diplomacy: Ministers Rely On Phones During Beirut Blackout

KUWAIT CITY, July 14: In a scene all too familiar in Lebanon, a power outage disrupted a meeting between Kuwait's First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, Sheikh Fahd Al-Youssef, and Lebanese Minister of Interior and Municipalities, Ahmad Hajjar, in Beirut. According to An-Nahar, the electricity was cut off during the extended meeting, forcing officials to use mobile phone flashlights to continue their discussions until power was restored.

Diplomats say US won't back a new Israeli war on Lebanon

by Naharnet Newsdesk 11 July 2025, 16:00 Although it is allowing Israel to carry on with its low-intensity attacks in Lebanon, the U.S. does not seem inclined to 'encourage or cover a new all-out war on Lebanese soil,' influential diplomats told An-Nahar newspaper. 'Washington is delicately engineering the post-Iran war period and this has been manifested in Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Washington,' the diplomats added, in remarks published Friday. The report comes as the U.S. looks into Lebanon's response to the U.S. paper submitted by its envoy Tom Barrack, who said that he was 'unbelievably satisfied with the response.' Barrack is expected to return to Lebanon in around two weeks after an expected visit to Israel.

Salam says 'things positive' as to Lebanese response to US paper

Salam says 'things positive' as to Lebanese response to US paper Prime Minister Nawaf Salam has said that 'things are going in a positive manner with President Joseph Aoun and Speaker Nabih Berri' regarding Lebanon's response to the U.S. paper of demands. In an interview with An-Nahar newspaper, Salam said he has stressed to U.S. envoy Tom Barrack and his administration the need to 'obtain real guarantees that truly lead to Israel's withdrawal from the occupied territory and halting its attacks and violations of Lebanon's sovereignty in a permanent manner.' The premier also emphasized the need to rebuild the destroyed towns in south Lebanon, speaking of an 'open understanding' with Berri and Aoun. He added that 'reaching a unified Lebanese response and presenting it to Barrack is in the country's interest,' describing the current atmosphere as 'acceptable.' Speaking at an economic meeting later on Wednesday, Salam said: "We are intensifying pressures to implement Resolution 1701 and the state is continuing its efforts to extend its authority across its territory, in order to monopolize weapons, curb smuggling, and boost safety at the airport."
