25.07.2026 ⇢ The Day Patriarch Hoayek Was Beatified
⌨
Editors centered the day on the beatification of Patriarch Elias Hoayek, the 'Father of Greater Lebanon,' in Diman. Coverage framed the ceremony as a spiritual anchor for national sovereignty, with President Aoun and Prime Minister Salam attending. Patriarch Rai's homily linked the event to the implementation of the framework agreement with Israel and Aoun's Washington visit.
In parallel, regional escalation dominated headlines. Trump issued an ultimatum for total Iranian compliance or a return to 'wide-scale war,' while Iran threatened any state aiding the US. Israeli strikes hit Bint Jbeil, and the Lebanese Army continued redeploying in the south to facilitate returns to villages like Zawtar al-Gharbiya. Reports of US-Iran backchannel talks via Oman offered a counter-narrative.
By evening, the beatification remained the symbolic peak, but the military and diplomatic brinkmanship between Washington and Tehran provided the day's underlying tension.
