The morning began with political maneuvering as the National Assembly's bureau validated the procedure to impeach President Macron. By midday, attention shifted to budget discussions, with opposition leaders leaving Matignon empty-handed and angry. The afternoon saw a dramatic turn of events in Lebanon, where explosions of pagers killed at least nine people and injured nearly 3,000, mostly Hezbollah members. The Hezbollah accused Israel, escalating tensions in the region. Domestically, the formation of Michel Barnier's government continued to face challenges, with discussions of potential tax increases causing friction. The Mazan rape trial saw the main accused, Dominique Pelicot, admitting to being a "rapist" and asking for forgiveness. The day concluded with Air France suspending flights to Beirut and Tel Aviv due to the escalating situation in the Middle East.
