16.08.2025 โ‡ข The Civil War Words, The Moscow Meeting Offer
โŒจThe Lebanese media extensively covered the escalating political debate concerning state authority and Hezbollah's arms. A central focus throughout the day was Sheikh Naim Qassem's declaration of not fearing civil war, which directly followed from the previous day's "arms defiance." This statement drew immediate and strong condemnations from key political figures, including former Prime Minister Salam and Geagea, who reaffirmed support for state legitimacy and rejected such discourse.
Concurrently, international diplomacy remained a significant theme, with reports detailing the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska and, particularly, Russian President Putin's offer to host the next Ukraine meeting in Moscow. Domestically, a new development emerged as Bassil submitted a "Black File" to a parliamentary committee, alleging over a billion dollars in corruption within the communications sector. Ongoing concerns about border security and smuggling from Syria also persisted in reports.
