26.02.2025Day Parliament Gave Ninety Five Votes
The morning parliamentary session continued discussions on the ministerial statement, with Berri managing heated exchanges between MPs. Washington's envoy Witkoff suggested Lebanon could potentially join the Abraham Accords, while Israeli operations intensified in southern Syria. By early afternoon, an Israeli drone strike in Hermel killed one person and injured another, marking a significant geographic expansion of operations northward.

After 18 hours of deliberations across three days, Parliament granted Prime Minister Nawaf Salam's government 95 votes of confidence. Salam immediately declared rejection of any political conditions tied to reconstruction aid. The vote occurred against the backdrop of continued Israeli military activity, with jets conducting low-altitude flights over various regions.

Hamas announced plans to transfer four Israeli hostage bodies in exchange for Palestinian prisoners, while reports emerged of potential Ramadan restrictions at Al-Aqsa mosque.
