Lebanon's PM from Rashid Karami Fair in Tripoli: Disarmament linked to stability and economic growth
Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said Monday that Lebanon cannot achieve security or stability without consolidating all weapons under the state's authority, warning that no investment or economic recovery can take place without stability. Speaking at the Rashid Karami International Fair in Tripoli, Salam stressed that "all of Lebanon will only rise under one state, one army, and one law." He noted the government has placed Tripoli at the center of its priorities, pledging support for the fair's new board of directors and a partnership with the private sector, economic bodies, and cultural institutions to revive the landmark site. "This national monument was not built to remain silent, but to serve as a living space for economic, cultural, and social activity and a true driver for development," Salam said.

Lebanon to sign $250 million reconstruction loan with World Bank in coming days
Lebanon's Finance Minister Yassine Jaber revealed that the signing of a $250 million World Bank reconstruction loan will take place in the coming days, after the Cabinet authorized him to sign during its most recent session. Jaber also discussed plans to begin repairing damage from Israel's recent war on Lebanon with Ali Hamiyeh, adviser to the president and former minister. He informed Hamiyeh that the first payments have already been allocated from the state treasury, with 200 billion LBP designated for Beirut's southern suburbs and 600 billion LBP for the Council for South Lebanon to start clearing rubble in other affected areas. Earlier on Monday, Jaber met with Civil Aviation Regulatory Authority head Mohammad Aziz to discuss the authority's budget and upcoming programs. He also received Lebanon's new ambassador to France, Rabih El Chaer, with talks focusing on ways the embassy can help attract investments to Lebanon and strengthen Lebanese-French economic diplomacy.

Iraq to end int'l coalition mission by September, PM's advisor says
The Iraqi government announced on Sunday that the US-led international coalition's mission in Iraq will officially end in September 2025, according to Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani's advisor, Hussein Allawi, as reported by the state-run Iraqi News Agency (INA). Allawi confirmed that the coalition's presence at its Baghdad headquarters and Ain al-Asad airbase will end in September under an agreement between Iraq and coalition members, in line with the government's plan to bolster Iraq's armed forces and transition to bilateral defense partnerships. 'The Iraqi government is committed to its program of building the armed forces and ending the coalition's mission, while transitioning relations with coalition countries into stable bilateral defense arrangements guided by political, economic, and cultural ties,' the advisor told INA. The prime minister's advisor outlined a two-stage timeline agreed upon by Iraq and the coalition, with the initial withdrawal phase scheduled for September 2025 and the full completion targeted by September 2026. He noted that Iraq plans to continue advisory and capacity-building partnerships with international allies beyond that period. Allawi explained that this approach demonstrates the government's commitment to establishing long-term partnerships across all sectors, particularly in security, while acknowledging the ongoing efforts of the joint military committee tasked with coordinating discussions regarding the coalition's mission. The advisor emphasized that the phased withdrawal reflects Iraq's strategic shift toward normalized relations with the US and coalition nations, moving from multilateral military structures to bilateral security agreements. 'It will return Iraqi-American and Iraq-coalition ties to the kind of strategic framework agreements that existed before the fall of Mosul to ISIS in 2014,' he told INA. In 2014, ISIS captured Mosul and large portions of Iraqi territory, prompting Baghdad to seek international assistance. The US rapidly mobilized a coalition of more than 80 nations under Operation Inherent Resolve, aiming to provide military support through targeted airstrikes, specialized training programs, and comprehensive logistical assistance for Iraqi security forces. Though Nouri al-Maliki had requested US and UN assistance, the coalition's operations proceeded without a new UN mandate, prompting legal debates and fueling Iraqi perceptions of the mission as an extension of American occupation rather than legitimate counterterrorism. The coalition was the center of much controversy; coalition airstrikes that aimed to help the recapture of cities like Mosul also caused many civilian casualties, reaching thousands, according to NGOs like Amnesty International. Critics have argued that the coalition underreported such casualties. Bombing campaigns devastated infrastructure, leveling Mosul's Old City and fueling criticism that anti-ISIS operations sometimes punished civilians collectively. Despite Iraq's December 2017 declaration of victory over ISIS, coalition forces maintained an advisory and counterterrorism presence that became increasingly controversial within Iraqi politics. In 2021, Washington and Baghdad reached an agreement to transition the US military role from combat operations to training and advisory missions, though thousands of coalition troops continued to be deployed across Iraqi bases.
