The day's Lebanese media prioritized UNIFIL's uncertain future amid international debate, with early reports detailing Washington's calls for its end and Israeli military preparations, including a 60,000-troop call-up, raising concerns for Lebanon. Concurrently, the imperative to restrict Hezbollah's weapons gained prominence, with official affirmations of "no turning back" and the army potentially seeking more time for implementation. Criticism against Hezbollah's perceived allegiance to Iran intensified, with religious and political figures asserting it does not represent the Shiite community. In the afternoon, President Aoun met with US Senator Markwayne Mullin, emphasizing the Lebanese army's need for support and the necessity of Israeli withdrawal. Discussions on the army's September disarmament plan continued, linked to Israeli compliance, amidst reports of Israeli military exercises simulating major escalation.
