28.05.2025Day Netanyahu Claims Regional Transformation as Hezbollah Weakness Exposed
An Iranian report acknowledged Hezbollah's significantly weakened position, describing the organization as "weaker than ever" while Israeli forces eliminated a Hezbollah commander in Yater. Netanyahu later declared Israel had "created a new situation in Lebanon" and announced the killing of Hamas leader Mohammed Sinwar in Gaza.

A UAE delegation inspected Beirut's port and airport, demonstrating continued Gulf engagement with Lebanon's infrastructure. Prime Minister Salam, speaking from the Emirates, reiterated commitments to sovereignty restoration and weapons containment. The port remained problematic with $42,000 reported missing and two officials detained.

Municipal election analysis revealed traditional parties maintained dominance despite earlier reports of southern rebellion against Hezbollah-Amal lists. Lebanese Forces leader Geagea clarified Lebanon's priority was returning to the ceasefire agreement rather than pursuing peace with Israel, stating this represented "the maximum we aspire to currently." Internal fractures emerged within the Free Patriotic Movement as collective resignations occurred in Jezzine.
