The day's dominant editorial focus was the parliamentary vote to abolish the death penalty, a historic move covered across outlets. The session saw heated debates, with Hezbollah's bloc walking out in protest. Concurrently, the general amnesty law was postponed after MPs withdrew, with Speaker Berri rescheduling for Wednesday amid tensions between PM Salam and Defense Minister Menassa.
In the south, Israeli shelling and drone strikes continued, with reports of a vehicle targeted in Nabatieh and ongoing demolitions in Zouatar al-Sharqi. President Aoun declared Lebanon would not allow Israel to remain on 'a single inch' of its land, while the US ambassador stated negotiations were progressing and Trump was committed to peace.
Regional developments included a US-brokered deal on a Syrian nuclear site after Israeli threats, and Pakistan's defense minister signaling a potential US-Iran deal.
