โจThe newspapers report on escalating regional tensions with Israeli airstrikes targeting southern Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley (Lebanon Files, LBC, LBCI). Headlines focus on American-Israeli pressure on Lebanon with Hezbollah calling for unity around the Lebanese Army (Addiyar). The Yemeni response follows the principle of "escalation for escalation" (Al-Manar), while the Gaza situation is described as "extremely complex" with Arab efforts to stop the escalation (Annahar). Domestically, the government approved an appointments mechanism, but consensus on the Central Bank governor remains elusive, with potential conflict between Aoun and Salam (L'Orient-Le Jour, MTV Lebanon, Naharnet).
