02.10.2026 ⇢ The Day Salam Visited Nabatieh
⌨

Editors kept the Tampa military-diplomatic round as the diplomatic frame, reporting preparations to expand 'experimental zones,' consolidate the ceasefire and address prisoners, with discussion of Israeli conditions and whether a map would be drawn before Israeli elections.

Attention shifted to state presence in the south. The prime minister traveled to Nabatieh with two ministers to announce rehabilitation projects and 23 tenders, saying security preceded return and warning against waiting for a regional settlement while acknowledging recovery exceeded state capacity. The president told a Deir Mimas delegation the state would not abandon southern land, then met the prime minister on his Washington talks and living conditions as outlets questioned the 2027 budget balance.

The diverted FlyDubai flight moved toward political use in Israel, with Riyadh transferring the co-pilot to the UAE and Netanyahu threatening a heavy price, as Washington linked Hezbollah's fate to Iran.
