New York diplomacy dominated. Prime Minister Salam met Syrian President Sharaa, speaking of a new page despite difficult legacy, and pressed for continued international presence in the south to prevent a post-UNIFIL vacuum, a line echoed by President Aoun.

Salam then met Iranian President Pezeshkian, telling him Lebanon would not serve as an arena for regional conflicts, had paid a heavy price, and should receive a new ambassador, while Foreign Minister Rajji publicly urged Tehran to restrain Hezbollah.
At the Assembly, Prime Minister Netanyahu's address, marked by walkouts, drew attention for waving a pager and boasting of striking Hezbollah. Back home, the Loyalty bloc accused the government of using Israeli aggression to excuse failure, as opponents demanded curbs on Hezbollah's entrenchment.
