Egyptian Ambassador: Efforts underway to expedite Israeli withdrawal from south Lebanon
Egyptian Ambassador to Lebanon Alaa Moussa described his meeting with Parliament 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.

Israeli warplanes carry out wave of airstrikes on south Lebanon
by Naharnet Newsdesk 23 June 2025, 20:14 Israel carried out airstrikes in parts of south Lebanon, including in Iqlim al-Tuffah. Monday's airstrikes were more intense than the usual near-daily ones that Israel has carried out since a ceasefire ended its 14-month war with Hezbollah in November. The strikes targeted the outskirts of Ansar-Zrariyeh, Tebna-Bissariyeh, Azza, Buslaya, Houmine al-Fawqa, Mazraat al-Mahmoudiyeh and al-Aishiyeh and came hours after Hezbollah leader Sheikh Naim Qassem said the group will not join the war between Iran and Israel for now. Qassem spoke in his first public comments since the U.S. inserted itself into the war on Sunday, saying his group is ready to back any decision taken by the Lebanese state to force Israel to stop the war. Israeli's military said it struck rocket launchers and an arms depot for Hezbollah.
