The day was dominated by the third round of Lebanese-Israeli negotiations in Washington, which began under US auspices amid continued Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon and the Bekaa. The talks, described as tense and pessimistic, reportedly focused on Hezbollah's disarmament. Speaker Berri insisted on full Israeli withdrawal and threatened legal action. Hezbollah released videos of attacks on Israeli forces, including a drone strike that injured Israeli civilians. The day also saw a UNICEF warning about 770,000 children facing mental health crises due to violence and displacement. A leaked Foreign Ministry document showed Lebanon's condemnation shifting from Israel to Iran. The Vatican promised to lobby Washington for a durable solution.
