26.03.2025Day of Lebanon's Refusal to Normalize with Israel
French envoy Le Drian began his visit to Lebanon meeting President Aoun, who emphasized reforms alongside reconstruction. The Finance Ministry announced public sector salaries had been transferred and could be collected the following day. Prime Minister Salam declared that normalization with Israel was "rejected by all Lebanese," as Israel reportedly pushed for an agreement "larger than a truce but less than normalization."

The Lebanese Army reported closing two roads and removing Israeli barbed wire from Lebanese territory, continuing border assertion following previous days' confrontations. The planned Lebanese defense delegation visit to Syria was postponed at Syria's request, indicating complications in the Lebanese-Syrian relationship that had been strained by recent border incidents.

By evening, American and European officials indicated there would be no veto on Central Bank Governor candidates, as controversy continued over banking secrecy laws. Hezbollah's Qassem reaffirmed the organization would not accept continued occupation.
