20.05.2025 ⇢ Day of European Union Lifting Syria Sanctions
⌨Morning news revealed traditional parties' triumph over civil society movements in Beirut municipal elections, with newspapers dissecting where the "October 17" change movement faltered. The Interior Ministry published election results for Beirut, Zahle, and later Baalbek districts, with some results requiring correction due to errors.
The most significant development came midday when multiple outlets reported the European Union following Trump's approach by lifting all sanctions on Syria, potentially transforming regional dynamics. Meanwhile, Morgan Ortagus emphasized Lebanon still has "much to do" regarding Hezbollah disarmament.
Palestinian arms discussions gained prominence, with reports of Abbas-Aoun talks including plans to dismantle Palestinian weapons within six months, though Palestinian officials insisted on maintaining light weapons in camps. An attempted weapons smuggling operation from Iraq to Lebanon via Syria was reportedly foiled according to evening reports.
