16.07.2026 ⇢ The Day Parliament Lost Quorum Over Amnesty
⌨
The legislative session dominated the day, with parliament approving military school reforms and extending the Lebanese University president's term. Hezbollah MP Fadlallah publicly accused President Aoun of turning Baabda Palace into a partisan platform, deepening the rift. By evening, the session collapsed when the Lebanese Forces withdrew over the general amnesty law, causing a loss of quorum and halting debate on abolishing the death penalty. Meanwhile, US-Iran escalation continued: Iran struck US bases in Kuwait and Jordan, and the US expanded strikes into northern Iran, imposing a naval blockade. Israel Katz insisted troops would remain in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza. Rome negotiations advanced on pilot zones, with a virtual trilateral meeting scheduled, while Syria intercepted an arms shipment bound for Hezbollah.
