The release of Ghina Nahfawi does not close the controversy arising from the broadcast of a video showing a dog dragged by a car in Aazounieh. The animal rights activist had been subjected to a procedure after relaying the images and appointing a man presented as a Sheikh. The case revives the debate on the application of the Lebanese Animal Protection Law and on the protection of whistleblowers.

Elias Bou Saab claims that a formula acceptable to the parliamentary majority was found on the general amnesty law. But the text remains unclear. There are many controversies: Islamist detainees, Lebanese refugees in Israel after 2000, drug trafficking, financial crimes, victims' rights and prison overcrowding. Parliament wants to go fast before Eid al-Adha, but it will have to prove that amnesty is not just a Community compromise.

Hezbollah accuses Washington and Israel of wanting to instrumentalize the Lebanese army to dismantle its military structures in favour of Israel. MP Hassan Fadllallah warned that any unit formed for this purpose would be considered a hostile force. This warning comes before the military discussions planned in Washington and revives the debate on the role of the army, the disarmament of Hezbollah and Lebanese sovereignty.

Ofer Bronchtein, a Franco-Israeli peace activist, died in Paris at the age of 69. Close to the spirit of Oslo, a defender of the recognition of a Palestinian State alongside Israel, he had made dialogue between enemies the thread of his public life. His journey recalls that despite war, crimes and the collapse of diplomatic hopes, peace remains a concrete political demand.

The Lebanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs rejected Al Akhbar's information about Youssef Raji and his meeting with Cardinal Pietro Parolin. The newspaper had attributed to the chief of diplomacy comments on a possible return to "Little Lebanon". The department talks about manufactured allegations, reaffirms the Minister's commitment to national unity and announces that it reserves the right to respond through appropriate channels.

According to Al Akhbar, a statement attributed to Raji in the Vatican revives the debate on small Lebanon and the FL report in Greater Lebanon.

In South Lebanon, the last 24 hours have confirmed the gap between the announced truce and the reality of the terrain. Israeli strikes, evacuation warnings and Hizbullah's response continued, while the official record has now exceeded 3,000 deaths since 2 March. The humanitarian crisis is worsening, while Washington is trying to transform a ceasefire extension into a stronger security environment.

He had come from far away to disappear from the world, but Lebanon had eventually recognized him as one of its own. Father Dario Escobar, a Colombian priest who became a Maronite hermit in the valley of Qannoubine, died at the age of 92, after a life under the sign of counting, prayer [...]

The extension of the ceasefire in Lebanon opens a new diplomatic sequence, but the ground remains unstable. In the south, the Israeli strikes, evacuation orders and wounded among the rescue workers show the limits of the truce. The discussions planned in Washington, the Pentagon and the State Department will have to answer a central question: how to turn a diplomatic calendar into concrete security for the villages exposed.

Lebanon's 45-day truce opened a diplomatic deadline, but the South remained hit by attacks, responses and uncertainty. Between Washington, Israel, Hezbollah and the Lebanese State, the ceasefire remains a fragile test, suspended from American safeguards and from the unstable southern Lebanese military terrain.

An Israeli evacuation notice targeted five locations in southern Lebanon on Friday morning around Tyre: Chebrieh, Hammadiyah, Zqoq al-Mofdi, Maashuk and Al-Hoch. The inhabitants were called upon to move at least one kilometre away to open spaces. This new alert comes after several days of strikes, similar warnings and political tensions around discussions about the cessation of hostilities.

In Washington, the third round between Lebanon and Israel reveals a major stalemate: Beirut demands ceasefire, withdrawal and sovereignty, while Israel conditions any truce in the disarmament of Hezbollah. Under the strikes, American mediation appears contested, between military pressure, regional calculations and Lebanese internal fragility at the heart of the state.

Ben Gvir claims to want to settle in Lebanon, against the background of warnings in the South and fears of an Israeli colonial project.

The discussions between Lebanon and Israel in Washington are entering a decisive phase. According to an Israeli public media, an agreement could link the Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese territory to the disarmament of Hezbollah, with a plan attributed to the CIA. Beirut remains cautious. The Lebanese line places the complete ceasefire and withdrawal before any internal treatment of Hezbollah weapons. Israel, on the other hand, wants to make the military dismantling of the movement the condition for any lasting stabilization.
