26.12.2025 โ‡ข The Day of the Financial Gap Law Approval
โŒจThe morning of December 26 began with Lebanese editors divided between escalating Israeli airstrikes and the Cabinetโ€™s final push to resolve the banking crisis. Following the previous day's assassination of a Quds Force operative, outlets like L'Orient-Le Jour and Al-Manar highlighted intensified strikes on Hezbollah training complexes in the Bekaa and South, noting the absence of a 'Christmas truce.'
By midday, editorial priority shifted decisively to the Grand Serail. The Cabinet approved the 'Financial Gap Law' with a 13-to-9 vote. Minister Amin Salam dominated headlines by claiming the law would secure 85% of deposits, a narrative framing it as a milestone for accountability. However, opposition media like Kataeb and Al Joumhouria emphasized the dissent of nine ministers, including the Minister of Justice, who cited a lack of transparent data. In the evening, the focus turned toward the regional spillover of a suicide bombing at a mosque in Homs, Syria, which ISIS claimed, prompting official Lebanese condemnations of sectarian violence.

โŒจLebanese media foreground the assassination of Al-Quds Force operative Hussein Al-Jauhari in the Bekaa, marking a breakdown in the holiday calm (Annahar, L'Orient-Le Jour, Al Joumhouria, Lebanon Files). While Hezbollah-aligned outlets frame the struggle as a defense of dignity against American-backed reconstruction delays (Al-Manar), secular and opposition papers focus on the internal governance of the 'financial gap' law and its impact on the public sector (Kataeb, MTV Lebanon, El Nashra).

โŒจLebanese editors are currently split between the geopolitical implications of a Netanyahu-Trump 'map' targeting Hezbollah (Kataeb, MTV Lebanon) and the domestic friction over the 'financial gap' law (El Nashra, Lebanon24). While state and military-aligned outlets highlight the army's progress in securing the area south of the Litani (Al Joumhouria), opposition media emphasizes Israeli demands for southern partition and the continued impact of airstrikes on Al-Quds operatives (L'Orient-Le Jour).

โŒจThe Lebanese media landscape is bifurcated between domestic fiscal legislation and escalating military strikes. Editors at Kataeb, Al Joumhouria, and El Nashra prioritize the Cabinet's progress on the 'financial gap' law, debating its feasibility and justice. Simultaneously, military-focused reporting (MTV Lebanon, LBCI, Lebanon24) highlights Israeli strikes on Hezbollah training complexes and depots, alongside American reports regarding the group's financial containment.

โŒจLebanese media foreground intensified Israeli airstrikes targeting the Bekaa and South (Annahar, Al-Manar, LBCI, Lebanon Files). While pro-Hezbollah and state-aligned outlets frame these as violations of sovereignty (Al-Manar), the Cabinet's third session regarding the 'financial gap' and bank legislation remains a secondary priority (Naharnet, El Nashra). Opposition voices increasingly link post-war recovery to the disarmament of Hezbollah (Kataeb).

โŒจThe Lebanese Cabinet's approval of the 'financial gap' and deposit recovery law has become the central editorial focus (Kataeb, L'Orient-Le Jour, Addiyar, El Nashra). While secular and state media detail the legislative progress, pro-Hezbollah and southern-focused outlets prioritize the continuation of intense Israeli airstrikes and sovereignty violations in the Bekaa and South (Annahar, Al-Manar, LBCI). Former President Aoun's condemnation of the Homs attack adds a regional sectarian dimension (Al Joumhouria).
