21:02⇢Five Embassies Back Exclusive State Weapons
⌨Coverage shifts from U.S. midterm fallout to concerted Western pressure on the arms dossier (Lebanon Files, Janoubia, MTV, Al-Manar). Lebanon Files and Janoubia report five embassies backing exclusive state weapons and an independent judiciary in the Dahr al-Baidar case, which MTV ties to new Hezbollah summons, while Al-Manar relays Hezbollah's bloc urging authorities to preserve national unity. Midterm readings persist (L'Orient-Le Jour, Al Joumhouria, Addiyar).
