Lebanese President Aoun says Berri backs his course of action

Lebanese President Aoun stated that Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri supports the current government direction, according to a report.

President Aoun's statement signals alignment between the presidency and parliament speaker amid ongoing political negotiations. The Zioneer has previously reported that Aoun supports talks with Israel, while Berri rejected the U.S.-brokered framework deal as 'bad and unfair' (July 2, 2026). The current statement appears to reflect a shift in Berri's position, though no further details are available.
