16.01.2026 โ‡ข The Day of the Baabda Security Summit
โŒจOn January 16, 2026, Lebanese editorial priorities shifted from the immediate threat of a regional war to the consolidation of domestic state authority. Morning headlines were dominated by a reported diplomatic reprieve, as Gulf mediation persuaded President Trump to pause military strikes against Iran. This shift allowed editors to focus on President Aounโ€™s morning security meeting at Baabda Palace, where he tasked agencies with preparing logistics for the March 5 Paris conference and discussed Hezbollahโ€™s disarmament with Samir Geagea.
By afternoon, however, the focus returned to the fragility of the ceasefire. Media outlets reported intensified Israeli violations, specifically a tank attack on a UNIFIL position near Kfarchouba and drone activity over the southern suburbs. In the evening, the narrative was split between Prime Minister Mikatiโ€™s televised insistence on the state's exclusive right to carry arms and reports of the U.S. Navy deploying aircraft carriers toward the Mediterranean, signaling that the regional pause remained precarious.
