President Aoun condemns Israeli strikes on Damascus as violation of Syrian sovereignty
He stressed that "the continuation of such attacks threatens to destabilize the region further and escalate tensions," expressing Lebanon's full solidarity with the Syrian Arab Republic—its people and its state.
Aoun renewed his call on the international community "to assume its responsibilities and exert pressure by all means and in all forums to stop these repeated attacks and respect Syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity."
He also reaffirmed "Lebanon's commitment to Syria's unity, civil peace, and the safety of its land and people in all their diversity."

Trump vowed to save Afghans, but UAE had already sent some back; cable shows
Days before President Donald Trump said he would help Afghan evacuees who fled their country and were stuck in the United Arab Emirates, the Emirati government had already begun returning them to Afghanistan and informed Washington that it was doing so, according to an internal State Department cable seen by Reuters on Sunday. The UAE, a close security partner of the United States, agreed in 2021 to temporarily house several thousand Afghans evacuated from Kabul as the Taliban ousted the U.S.-backed government during the final stages of the U.S.-led withdrawal.

Lebanese army confronts Israeli forces over border violation in southern Lebanon
The Lebanese army said Sunday that Israeli military and engineering vehicles crossed the technical fence and began bulldozing land in the outskirts of Rmeish, in the Bint Jbeil district, in what it called a blatant violation of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1701 and the ceasefire agreement. In a statement, the army said it responded by reinforcing its presence in the area opposite the Israeli forces. A patrol from the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) also arrived to document the breach, prompting the Israeli troops to retreat back across the border. The army added that it is closely monitoring the situation along the southern border in coordination with UNIFIL.
