'Strong Lebanon': What is happening on Lebanon's northeastern border requires the utmost political mobilization
The 'Strong Lebanon' Bloc held its regular meeting, chaired by MP Gebran Bassil, during which it discussed its agenda and issued the following statement: 1. The situation unfolding along Lebanon's northeastern border is a serious threat to national security and stability. This demands the highest level of political mobilization to halt the escalation and enforce the rule of law in order to safeguard Lebanon's territory, borders, people, and economy. 2. The Bloc supports the government's efforts to adopt a framework for public sector appointments, in line with mechanisms previously approved by earlier governments. However, the Bloc warns against adopting any mechanism that violates the constitution, particularly one that was entirely annulled by the Constitutional Council in the past. 3. The Bloc strongly condemns the ongoing daily Israeli aggression against Lebanon, as well as Prime Minister Netanyahu's declared refusal to withdraw from the occupied positions. It also expresses deep concern over the Lebanese government's continued failure to take a clear and firm stance on these developments and their underlying causes. Additionally, the Bloc denounces Israel's renewed attacks on Gaza, including the bombing of civilian areas, which have resulted in hundreds of deaths and injuries, in blatant disregard of international and humanitarian law.

Romanian plane brings back stranded Lebanese from Sharm el-Sheikh
by Naharnet Newsdesk 9 hours A first Romanian plane carrying Lebanese citizens who were stranded in Sharm el-Sheikh due to the Israel-Iran war arrived Monday morning at the Rafik Hariri International Airport. A statement issued by Lebanon's civil aviation authority had said that it followed up on the issue with the travel agency at the instructions of Public Works and Transportation Minister Fayez Rasamny. Similar flights are scheduled to arrive in Beirut later throughout the day. The unprecedented Israel-Iran confrontation -- involving the use of ballistic and interception missiles, warplanes and drones -- has prompted neighboring countries to close their airspace for lengthy hours and several airlines to cancel flights, which has created travel chaos.
