President Joseph Aoun met on Tuesday with Egyptian Intelligence Chief Hassan Rashad and his accompanying delegation at Baabda Palace.

The meeting was attended by General Security Director General Hassan Shukeir and Army Intelligence Chief Brigadier General Tony Kahwaji.

During the meeting, Rashad conveyed greetings from Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and expressed his country’s support for Lebanon’s efforts to maintain stability. Discussions focused on regional developments, with particular attention to southern Lebanon and the situation in Gaza.

Following the Baabda meeting, Rashad headed to Ain al-Tineh to meet with Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri, as part of a broader diplomatic engagement in Beirut that has included regional and international envoys in recent weeks.
