President Aoun discusses Qatar visit and regional developments with PM Salam, meets Apostolic Nuncio
Army Commander General Rodolph Haykal briefed Aoun on the details of the assaults and strongly condemned Israel's continued aggression, which he said violated Lebanon's sovereignty and the agreement reached in November.
He added that this situation requires 'serious international action to halt these attacks, especially from the countries that sponsored and endorsed the November agreement—particularly the United States and France.'
President Joseph Aoun received Prime Minister Nawaf Salam at the Baabda Presidential Palace, where Salam briefed him on the outcome of his recent visit to Qatar and the discussions he held with Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, and other relevant ministers.
President Aoun and Prime Minister Salam also held a broad discussion on the latest regional developments.
President Aoun later received the Apostolic Nuncio to Lebanon, Monsignor Paolo Borgia, who Advisor Monsignor Giovanni Bianchiari accompanied.
The meeting reviewed Lebanon's relations with the Holy See in light of the president's visit to the Vatican two weeks prior, during which he met with Pope Francis and Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin.

Lebanon's showdown: Will the Lebanese army succeed in enforcing state control over arms?
Report by Nada Andraos, English adaptation by Karine Keuchkerian The Lebanese army is finalizing its plan to centralize weapons under state control and implement U.N. Security Council Resolution 1701 across the country, ahead of presenting it to the cabinet at the end of the month. According to LBCI sources, the plan will rely on military, financial, and timeline frameworks, supported by U.S. technical assistance and the backing of the ceasefire monitoring mechanism. The army's plan builds on the ceasefire agreement, which marked the start of an initial plan launched under Joseph Aoun, who was then commander of the Lebanese Armed Forces and is now president, focusing on the south of the Litani River. The next phase will extend across Lebanon. The timeline for the army to collect weapons by the end of this year could be extended to better match conditions on the ground. Financially, while the army and security forces await $1 billion annually over 10 years from international donors to strengthen equipment and personnel, U.S. support will continue at $150 million per year, alongside salary increases and an expansion of troops to 4,500 fully equipped personnel—or more, as implementation progresses. On the ground, the plan calls for enhancing military capabilities on land, in the air, and at sea. The air force will be strengthened for reconnaissance and aerial surveillance missions. The navy will be upgraded to secure coasts and territorial waters. On land, the plan will involve organizational restructuring and advanced training for units deployed south of the Litani, along the borders, and internally, in preparation for expanding the roles of all units tasked with reconnaissance, surveillance, and security operations to other areas. The plan is divided into three phases beyond the south of the Litani River: up to the Awali River, Greater Beirut, and the Bekaa. Each phase defines objectives and the arms to be collected, allowing for gradual and coherent implementation. The army's anticipated plan is expected to outline the operational and security requirements at a politically sensitive moment, though political backing and consensus are not guaranteed. In other words, by the end of August, the cabinet could face a difficult crossroads if it approves the army's weapons collection plan and insists on assigning the army to implement it on the ground, even without the approval of the Hezbollah-Amal Movement political duo.

Israeli army chief admits ceasefire violations, highlights multi-front threats—the details
Israeli army chief of staff Eyal Zamir chose the border with southern Lebanon to admit that his army has violated the ceasefire agreement hundreds of times. Zamir went further, saying that Israel is in the midst of an important phase to safeguard its security and that of its northern residents, declaring that its forces are fighting wars on all fronts, on their own initiative. Security officials viewed Zamir's remarks and his tour of the border as a provocation that could contribute to escalating tensions on the northern front, while others justified it on the grounds that Israel must take all measures to prevent any potential threats. Notably, Zamir conducted his tour alongside the commander of the 91st Division, the commander of the 769th Brigade, and other officers leading the five Lebanese positions occupied by Israel, as well as units deployed along the northern border area. Amid Israeli media reports of possible escalation on this front, and Hezbollah's refusal to abandon its weapons, Zamir boasted that his army had succeeded in changing the security reality on the northern front, saying it had carried out more than 600 airstrikes on Lebanon and killed more than 240 Hezbollah members since the ceasefire. He also spoke of a plan to ensure Israel's national security under a new strategic concept. Zamir's threats toward Lebanon came as the Israeli army faces a serious challenge in Gaza, as well as while Israel signals the possibility of launching new attacks on Iran, which it accuses of boosting its nuclear and missile capabilities. Between these fronts, the threat from the Houthis has grown, with continued missile launches that have triggered air raid sirens in Tel Aviv and central Israel.
