21.07.2026 ⇢ The Day Trump Embraced Aoun and the Pilot Zone Ignited
⌨
Editors split their focus between the White House summit and the volatile launch of the pilot zone in Zawtar al-Gharbiya. In the morning, the Lebanese army deployed to the first pilot zone under the framework agreement, with multiple outlets broadcasting footage of the entry. By midday, Israeli forces opened fire near the deploying units, drawing condemnation from the army and dominating headlines. Simultaneously, President Aoun's meeting with Trump proceeded in Washington, where Trump offered warm praise, pledged to 'help a lot,' and announced direct US flights to Lebanon. Aoun presented a plan to disarm Hezbollah and reaffirmed commitment to the framework agreement. The dual narrative of diplomatic breakthrough and on-the-ground friction defined the day's editorial priorities, with the pilot zone's rocky start overshadowing the summit's symbolic warmth.
