Michel Barnier delivered his policy speech to the National Assembly, outlining plans for tax increases on the wealthy and large companies, a minimum wage increase, and potential adjustments to retirement reforms. The speech was overshadowed by escalating tensions in the Middle East. Israel conducted limited ground raids in southern Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah infrastructure. By evening, Iran launched a significant missile attack on Israel, reportedly firing over 180 missiles. This marked a dramatic escalation in regional conflicts. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu warned of consequences, while the US ordered its military to intercept missiles targeting Israel. The day ended with heightened global concern about potential further escalation in the Middle East.
