17.07.2025Soueida's Calm by Force
Lebanese media on July 17 maintained a strong focus on Syria's Soueida crisis. Early reports emphasized Israeli intentions for a buffer zone and domestic discussions on US proposals for disarmament, linking guarantees to arms exclusivity. By mid-morning, the editorial scope broadened with direct Israeli strikes in South Lebanon, causing casualties, and a military raid impacting a Catholic church in Gaza. As the day progressed, the central narrative converged on Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's assertion that the Soueida ceasefire was "obtained by force," alongside reports of Syrian forces withdrawing. Concurrently, US demands for a Hezbollah disarmament timeline and concrete steps towards closing Hezbollah-linked financial entities gained traction. The European Union's discussion of a $600 million support package for Lebanon also emerged as a key development, offering a distinct focus amidst regional tensions. Discussions between Lebanese leaders underscored the urgency of cooperation to avoid Syrian spillover.
