16.05.2025 โ‡ข Day Former President Vows World Improvement Within Weeks
โŒจTrump concluded his Gulf tour in the UAE, claiming "the world will be better in a few weeks," following his decision to lift sanctions on Syria without consulting Israel. This fueled discussion about Syria potentially joining normalization efforts, with Speaker Berri noting "Syria is heading toward normalization." Lebanese officials expressed relief about Trump's statements while Americans expanded sanctions against Hezbollah.

An Israeli drone crashed in Marjeyoun as military tensions continued. UNIFIL peacekeepers clashed with residents in Jamijmeh, prompting Lebanese Army intervention. UNIFIL later asserted their freedom of movement "with or without" the army's presence.

President Aoun prepared for a Vatican visit tomorrow as the Interior Ministry launched an automated assistant for election inquiries. Reports surfaced of possible Syrian-Israeli talks, while increased security measures targeted communications between Lebanese and Arabs from 1948 territories.
