House Speaker met Wednesday at his Ain-el-Tineh residence with a delegation of the Editors’ Syndicate, to whom he asserted that “the parliamentary elections will be definitely held on their scheduled constitutional date.”

Berri added that “Lebanon is under Arab siege, while Israel managed to break it.”

“I am ready to go to Baabda Palace on foot to meet with President of the Republic Michel Aoun, if I sense positivity as to finding a solution to the current crisis,” he went on to say.

Berri also highlighted the necessity that the Higher Judicial Council plays a role regarding judicial investigator Judge Tarek Bitar.
