US diplomatic pressure surrounding the "Barak paper" dominated Lebanese headlines, intensifying discussions around a potential peace deal with Israel, often linked to a Gaza agreement. Urgency from the Trump administration was noted, with a US envoy emphasizing the need for a Lebanon-Israel peace accord. However, a Lebanese official clarified that normalization was not among the US envoy's explicit demands. The core of the negotiations continued to be Hezbollah's weaponry, following previous days' focus on state arms monopoly. The day culminated in significant anticipation for Hezbollah's official response to the US proposal, encapsulated by the headline "Barak awaits Hezbollah." Concurrently, parliament experienced a heated legislative session marked by MP walkouts, particularly over the 2025 budget and the contentious expatriate voting bill, leading to its suspension. Regional implications of the "12-day war" aftermath persisted in the media landscape.
