The day's editorial focus intensified on the impending Friday cabinet session and the critical issue of arms control. Building on Speaker Berri's disarmament proposals and a reported army plan for Hezbollah's disarmament within 120 days, the narrative took a sharp turn with Hezbollah reportedly warning against a "major clash" if a disarmament timetable is set. This development, amid Kataeb's reiteration that dialogue requires state arms monopoly, positioned the upcoming session as a significant political test. Palestinian President Abbas also declared a determination to withdraw Palestinian arms from Lebanon. Later, reports emerged of efforts towards political de-escalation, including a meeting between Berri and President Aoun, as details of the army's plan continued to surface, along with discussions about potential changes in government balances.
