01:03⇢The Army's Arms Mandate
⌨Lebanese media intensely focuses on the government's progress regarding Hezbollah's arms. The cabinet reportedly tasked the army with developing a plan to restrict weapons, with a reported withdrawal deadline by late 2025 (Lebanon24, L'Orient-Le Jour, Naharnet). Shiite ministers walked out of the session (Naharnet), though Aoun and Berri reportedly prevented a full confrontation (Addiyar). Hezbollah's Naim Qassem reiterated that aggression, not weapons, is the core issue (Addiyar, El Nashra, LBC, LBCI), while discussions continue on potential political settlements (Annahar).
