⌨Lebanese media remains focused on US demands for Hezbollah's disarmament and potential US-Hezbollah negotiations (LBC, LBCI, Janoubia). However, headlines increasingly highlight escalating Israeli military operations and bombardments in the South (Addiyar, Al Joumhouria, Lebanon24). This raises questions among Lebanese outlets about the efficacy of US diplomacy amidst concurrent Israeli escalation, with some questioning whether further military confrontation has become inevitable (Addiyar, El Nashra).
