10:34⇢Ziad Rahbani's Farewell
⌨Lebanese media has shifted focus towards the widespread national mourning following the passing of visionary artist Ziad Rahbani, with extensive coverage of his legacy and the Rahbani family's musical heritage (Al Joumhouria, Lebanon24, L'Orient-Le Jour, Naharnet). This cultural focus appears amidst ongoing political concerns, including Lebanon entering a pivotal August with escalating pressure (Addiyar), discussions on Hezbollah's adherence to Resolution 1701 without surrendering arms (Annahar), and US envoy Barrack's perceived shift to a warning tone (El Nashra).
