24.07.2026The Day Aoun Cemented His Washington Mandate

Editors led with President Aoun's post-Washington consolidation, framing his return as the moment he became the undisputed decision-maker. L'Orient-Le Jour and Addiyar headlined his strengthened position, while Kataeb and MTV reported his insistence on keeping UNIFIL as the best option for the south. The US-Iran war continued to escalate in parallel: Al-Manar and Naharnet covered Iranian strikes on US bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan on the 13th night of American aggression, and Lebanon24 warned of a massive US attack within 48 hours. Domestically, the phased return of residents to Zawtar al-Gharbiya under army supervision was widely covered, with Janoubia declaring Hezbollah's power against Israel over. By evening, UNESCO's emergency listing of five South Lebanese fortresses as endangered world heritage added a cultural dimension to the day's priorities.
