15.09.2026The Day the Prosecutor Sought Charges Against Michel Aoun

Parliament opened its questioning of the Salam government, with Berri steering debate as Salam insisted negotiation was not concession and defended his record with figures. Critics from Gemayel warning of state disintegration to Bassil demanding course correction and Hezbollah rejecting the framework agreement kept confidence intact but rattled, and the session was adjourned to the next day.

On the ground, Israeli strikes were described as crossing the Litani and erasing the dividing line, with claims of ready-to-use rockets found and Netanyahu threatening heavier blows, while U.S. envoy Michel Issa inspected Zawtar al-Gharbiyeh and President Aoun rejected claims of army shortcomings.

Late in the day attention shifted to the port blast file, with judicial sources saying the prosecutor sought charges against former president Michel Aoun and submitted a 270-page opinion to Judge Bitar naming ministers.
