⋯ Local Lebanese media reported that Speaker of the Parliament Nabih Berri has decided to end his mediation efforts between President Michel Aoun and Prime Minister Najib Mikati to form a government.

Berri indicated in a press statement on 5 September that “the atmosphere that prevailed in the latest meeting between Aoun and Mikati was not encouraging at all,” prompting him to step aside.

⋯ However, Berri reiterated his encouragement to form a government as soon as possible, to prevent Lebanon from falling into a constitutional crisis.

As a result, Mikati plans to meet with the head of the Progressive Socialist Party, Walid Jumblatt, to encourage him to play a more active role in bridging distances between the political parties.

⋯ Mikati is trying to gather enough support to form a government capable of handling the current political and economic crisis and fill the political vacuum that could overshadow the country.

If there is no new President by the end of October, the current caretaker government headed by Mikati will assume presidential powers.
⋯ On the other hand, Hezbollah is concerned that as a result of the delays in the maritime border negotiations with Israel, Lebanon might find itself unable to reach an agreement in the upcoming months.

In light of the absence of an active government and the end of Aoun’s presidential term in October, Lebanon will lack the official representation capable of negotiating with Israel.
The commander of the Northern Command in the Israeli army, Amir Baram, announced that Israelis will be allowed to visit the occupied Lebanese village of Ghajar, after 22 years of restrictions.
