A trilateral meeting was held, bringing together Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri, and Prime Minister-designate Nawaf Salam. 

After a closed-door meeting that lasted more than an hour and a half, Berri left the Baabda Palace through the back door, followed by Salam, who did not make any statement.

In this context, MTV reported that the disagreement during the trilateral meeting revolved around the name of the fifth Shiite minister, with Berri insisting on choosing the name himself.

"Al Markazia" reported that President Joseph Aoun is addressing the issue of the fifth Shiite minister, with Berri demanding to have a say in the appointment.
