The Day Berri Rejected Shiite Isolation and Elections Set

Lebanese media on October 24 focused on political tensions surrounding parliamentary elections, with Kataeb and LBCI reporting on Gemayel's strong rebuke of Berri's attempts to isolate a sect and prevent parliamentary debate, asserting such actions undermine the state. Meanwhile, Berri reaffirmed that elections would be held on time, with "no delay, no postponement, no extension" (Naharnet). Separately, State Security uncovered forgery operations and manipulation of grades at the Lebanese University's Faculty of Law (LBC, LBCI). Additionally, Al Joumhouria reminded citizens about the upcoming daylight saving time change, and UN Special Coordinator Blaskhart urged Lebanese for patience amid uncertain times.
