02:07 (23:07)โขTrump Announces Direct Talks With Iran
โจThe newspapers report on Trump's claim of direct talks with Iran (LBC, LBCI, MTV Lebanon, Annahar) alongside Netanyahu's announcement of a new hostage deal proposal for Gaza (Naharnet, LBC, LBCI). Trump's economic policies have reportedly caused significant drops in global stock markets (Al-Manar). Domestically, President Aoun maintains his commitment to agreements with the "duo" (likely Hezbollah and Amal), refusing to rush weapons control while the U.S. continues pressure without setting a timeline (Addiyar). Meanwhile, Israeli airstrikes continue in southern Lebanon (Addiyar, L'Orient-Le Jour), with reports of army reinforcements there (Kataeb) and UNIFIL expanding its operational authority.
