Lebanon Awaits Fateful Talks with Cyprus

All eyes are on the Speaker of the House Nabih Berri, who holds a balancing role in all the issues he addresses, with hopes for his success in finding an exit that would halt the war on the southern front. Meanwhile, caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati has been working to avoid a crisis with Cyprus following the latter's complaint about illegal migration by sea from Lebanese shores. In this context, Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides is set to visit Beirut tomorrow, Monday, leading a ministerial delegation as part of Mikati's efforts to contain the crisis.
