Free Patriotic Movement chief Jebran Bassil met Monday with caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati at the Grand Serail as part of a tour over the military developments in south Lebanon and Gaza.
An FPM statement said Bassil’s tour is aimed at “protecting Lebanon and national unity” in light of the “threats and challenges that Lebanon is facing.”
The FPM chief later met with former Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat at 5pm in Clemenceau.
MTV meanwhile reported that “so far, Bassil has not requested to meet with Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea and Kataeb Party leader Sami Gemayel.”
“Bassil has requested to meet with a delegation that represents the opposition, without specifying a place and time for this meeting,” MTV added.
Media reports later said that Bassil will meet Speaker Nabih Berri on Tuesday.
