Hezbollah's Qomati warns of regional conspiracy, urges Lebanese unity
Member of Hezbollah's Political Council and former minister Mahmoud Qomati warned of a "large and dangerous project" targeting the region, stressing that only national unity can protect Lebanon. He said that any attempt to undermine this unity serves Israel and the broader conspiratorial agenda. In remarks delivered during a memorial held by Hezbollah for missing fighter Ali Afif Nahleh, Qomati urged Lebanese citizens to rally around their country and its sovereignty. "Our call today is clear, vital, and significant: we must unite as Lebanese in service of this nation. At the forefront is the resistance, which defends Lebanon's sovereignty. We are not a tool serving any foreign country. We are the arm, strength, and weapon of this nation, and we will defend it in all its diversity. We will not submit to anyone or relinquish our power, no matter the threats," he stated. Qomati emphasized that abandoning the resistance's weapons would mean "the end of Lebanon." He further warned that Lebanon is "at the heart of the storm" and faces existential threats from all directions. Referring to international positions, he claimed that French President Emmanuel Macron had presented Lebanon with a stark choice between Israeli and Syrian tutelage. He also cited alleged statements by U.S. envoy Tom Barrack, who he claimed suggested that Lebanon could become part of Greater Syria if it does not comply with Western demands. "These are things that some Lebanese fail to hear because their minds are consumed by hatred and resentment," Qomati said, calling for a unified national stance in the face of growing regional and internal challenges.

France to contribute €75 million to the World Bank's LEAP following Lebanese PM visit
Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam paid an official visit to France, where he met with President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday at the Élysée Palace. This was his first official trip to Paris since taking office. During the meeting, Salam outlined the challenges Lebanon is facing, reaffirming his government's commitment to implementing the necessary reforms, restoring both local and international trust, and asserting the full authority of the state across Lebanese territory. President Macron praised the Lebanese government's determination to pursue reform and reiterated France's steadfast support for Lebanon's sovereignty, stability, and prosperity. He also voiced support for ongoing efforts to revive Lebanon's economy and restructure state institutions. Macron noted that France is preparing to host an international donor conference in Paris to support Lebanon. The event would coincide with a potential agreement between Lebanon and the International Monetary Fund, once key reforms, particularly in the banking and judicial sectors, are enacted. As part of its immediate assistance, France will contribute €75 million to the World Bank's Lebanon Emergency Assistance Project (LEAP), which aims to help rebuild areas affected by the recent Israeli aggression.
