Egyptian Ambassador to Lebanon, Alaa Moussa, on Tuesday described his meeting with House Speaker, Nabih Berri, alongside the Quintet Committee as productive, emphasizing that discussions focused largely on southern Lebanon and efforts to accelerate the Israeli army’s withdrawal.

“The meeting was an important opportunity to address upcoming challenges and the government's next steps, as outlined in the inaugural speech and ministerial statement,” Moussa said.

The Egyptian diplomat added that Berri stressed the broader impact of events in the south on Lebanon as a whole, while also noting a shared regional interest in Syrian stability, which could positively affect neighboring countries and help ease regional tensions.
