Separately, President Aoun also met with the Superior General of the Lebanese Maronite Order, Abbot Hady Mahfouz, who extended an invitation to attend the celebratory Mass marking the Feast of Saint Charbel on July 20 at the Monastery of Saint Maron in Annaya.

How will Lebanon respond to US paper?
by Naharnet Newsdesk 01 July 2025, 15:19 President Joseph Aoun, Speaker Nabih Berri and PM Nawaf Salam have made 'significant progress' in their deliberations ahead of U.S. envoy Tom Barrack's second visit to Beirut, which is expected before July 10, Lebanese sources said. Representatives of Aoun, Berri and Salam held a lengthy meeting Monday in Baabda and 'unanimously agreed' on a draft paper in response to Barrack's demands, the sources told Asharq al-Awsat newspaper, noting that the draft won the approval of Aoun, Berri and Salam and was also discussed between the Speaker and Hezbollah's leadership. The sources added that Lebanon will ask the U.S. to seriously press Israel in order to reach a real ceasefire, allow Lebanon to pacify the situation and 'dispel Hezbollah's concerns,' ahead of engaging in Barrack-sponsored negotiations that would 'certainly lead to unanimity over arms monopolization, seeing as it is unacceptable for the talks to be conducted under Israel's military pressure.' 'Hezbollah is still opening a window for obtaining guarantees, which is being comprehended by the three presidents, seeing us it needs to justify to its supporters the shift toward the monopolization of arms,' the sources added. Hezbollah 'needs to reassure its environment that giving up its weapons will be the reason behind Israel's withdrawal and the release of its captives,' the sources went on to say. Al-Akhbar newspaper meanwhile reported that Aoun, Berri and Salam have agreed that 'there is no need to hold a special Cabinet session to discuss the U.S. paper, seeing as PM Najib Mikati's government had agreed to the ceasefire agreement and its stipulations, and because Lebanon should not present additional commitments before knowing the next steps that will be taken by Israel.' 'The unified Lebanese stance is that Lebanon will inform the U.S. administration that Israel has to withdraw, release the captives and halt its daily attacks in return for a Lebanese commitment to tangible measures to control illegal weapons in the areas south and north of the Litani River,' al-Akhbar added. But other sources told the daily that the U.S. and Israel 'will come up with a lot of excuses to reject the settlement sought by Lebanon.' Local and foreign parties are meanwhile trying to 'intimidate' Lebanon by saying that 'Israel is preparing to escalate its attacks with harsh airstrikes that could resemble the ferocity of the strikes that assassinated Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, in addition to possible additional land operations,' al-Akhbar said. Sources close to a top Lebanese leader have, however, expressed optimism that a solution for the issue of Hezbollah's arms has been put on track, seeing as Iran might have told Hezbollah and Berri to 'commit to the requirements of Resolution 1701 with its accurate stipulations,' the Nidaa al-Watan newspaper reported. Hezbollah is meanwhile 'inquiring about reconstruction' and Israel's 'withdrawal' ahead of agreeing to a timetable for weapons handover, informed sources told the daily, with presidential sources seeing 'unprecedented progress in Hezbollah's stance that made it agree that its arms be discussed in Cabinet soon despite all its declared stances that are rejecting that.'

Qassem says Hezbollah in 'defensive state', ready to find 'solution'
by Naharnet Newsdesk 01 July 2025, 13:14 Hezbollah chief Sheikh Naim Qassem has said that his Iran-backed group is in a 'defensive state' in Lebanon, calling on other Lebanese not to 'help Israel and America in their schemes.' 'Occupation is aggression and we are people who will definitely work to end this aggression. We're in a defensive state. Do not tell us 'do not defend,' because this is our land, life, dignity, pride and the future of our children and generations,' Qassem said in a televised Ashoura sermon. 'They say that we can't confront this brutal force, but we tell them that there are ways to confront it. There is rejection, there is jihad and there is a stance. They say that we are stronger than them, but we're not debating if we're stronger or not,' Hezbollah's leader added. 'First of all, we do not aggress against anyone, we haven't occupied anyone's land and we haven't approached anyone … We are in a defensive position in the face of an occupier and in the face of U.S.-Israeli aggression,' Qassem said. Addressing those who say that Hezbollah is 'taking the country into the unknown,' Hezbollah's leader stated that 'those who take the country into the unknown are those who support Israel and America in their schemes and decisions -- those who give up the land under the slogan of wanting to live some carefree life.' 'What takes us into the unknown are those who do not say 'No' to occupation and those who don't exert real efforts or seek accord with their fellow citizens in the country -- this is what takes into the unknown,' Qassem went on to say. Apparently addressing Lebanese officials and rival Lebanese parties, Hezbollah's secretary-general added: 'Do not help Israel and America in their schemes. Put your patriotism first in the relation with your brothers and we and you would agree on everything.' 'We and you would agree on all details and we would find a solution for what bothers you … but do not be with the enemies in this dangerous and critical juncture that Lebanon is going through,' Qassem said.

International charities, NGOs call for end to controversial Israeli-backed Gaza aid group
Dozens of international charities and non-governmental organizations, including Oxfam, Save the Children and Amnesty, called Tuesday for an Israeli and U.S.-backed aid mechanism for Gaza to disband over repeated incidents of chaos and deadly violence against Palestinians heading toward its sites. At least seven Palestinians were killed seeking aid in southern and central Gaza between late Monday and early Tuesday. The deaths came after Israeli forces killed at least 74 people in Gaza earlier Monday with airstrikes that left 30 dead at a seaside cafe and gunfire that left 23 dead as Palestinians tried to get desperately needed food aid, witnesses and health officials said. Next week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will travel to Washington to meeting U.S. President Donald Trump and other administration officials. Netanyahu's visit comes as Trump has signaled he is ready for Israel and Hamas to wind down the war in Gaza, which is likely to be a focus of their talks. The war has killed over 56,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza's Health Ministry, which does not distinguish between civilians and combatants but says more than half of the dead were women and children. The Hamas attack in October 2023 that sparked the war killed some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and took 251 others hostage. Some 50 hostages remain, many of them thought to be dead. Charities, NGOs call for end to Gaza Humanitarian Fund More than 165 major international charities and non-governmental organizations, including Oxfam, Save the Children and Amnesty, on Tuesday called for an immediate end to the Gaza Humanitarian Fund. "Palestinians in Gaza face an impossible choice: starve or risk being shot while trying desperately to reach food to feed their families," the group said in a joint news release. The call by the charities and NGOs was the latest sign of trouble for the GHF — a secretive U.S. and Israeli-backed initiative headed by an evangelical leader who is a close ally of Trump. GHF started distributing aid on May 26, following a nearly three-month Israeli blockade that has pushed Gaza's population of more than 2 million people to the brink of famine. In a statement Tuesday, the organization said it has delivered more than 52 million meals over five weeks. "Instead of bickering and throwing insults from the sidelines, we would welcome other humanitarian groups to join us and feed the people in Gaza," the statement said. "We are ready to collaborate and help them get their aid to people in need. At the end of the day, the Palestinian people need to be fed." Last month, the organization said there has been no violence in or around its distribution centers and that its personnel have not opened fire. Israel's foreign ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday. More than 500 Palestinians killed around GHF sites According to Gaza's Health Ministry, more than 500 Palestinians have been killed around the chaotic and controversial aid distribution program over the past month. Palestinians are often forced to travel long distances to access the GHF hubs in hopes of obtaining aid. The GHF is the linchpin of a new aid system that wrested distribution away from aid groups led by the U.N. The new mechanism limits food distribution to a small number of hubs under guard of armed contractors, where people must go to pick it up. Currently four hubs are set up, all close to Israeli military positions. Israel had demanded an alternative plan because it accuses Hamas of siphoning off aid. The United Nations and aid groups deny there is significant diversion. They reject the new mechanism, saying it allows Israel to use food as a weapon, violates humanitarian principles and won't be effective. The Israeli military said it had recently taken steps to improve organization in the area. Israel says it only targets militants and blames civilian deaths on Hamas, accusing the militants of hiding among civilians because they operate in populated areas. At least 7 Palestinians killed seeking aid At least seven Palestinians were killed late Monday and early Tuesday in three separate locations while seeking aid, hospitals said. Three of the deaths by Israel fire occurred in Gaza's southern city of Khan Younis, while four were killed in central Gaza. More than 65 others were wounded, according to the Awda hospital in the Nuseirat refugee camp, and the Al-Quds hospital in Gaza City, which received the casualties. The casualties were among thousands of starved Palestinians who gather at night to take aid from passing trucks in the area of the Netzarim route in central Gaza. Meanwhile, an 11-year-old girl was killed Tuesday when an Israeli strike hit her family's tent west of Khan Younis, according to the Kuwait field hospital that received her body. And the U.N. Palestinian aid agency said Israel's military struck one of its schools sheltering displaced people in Gaza City on Monday. The strike left no casualties but caused significant damage to the facility, UNRWA said. Netanyahu's Washington trip Speaking to a meeting of his Cabinet on Tuesday, Netanyahu did not elaborate on the contents of his upcoming Washington visit, except to say he will discuss a trade deal. Iran, following the 12-day war with Israel, is also expected to be a main topic of discussion. After brokering a ceasefire between Iran and Israel, Trump has signaled that he's turning his attention to bringing a close to the fighting between Israel and Hamas. 2 killed in the occupied West Bank The Palestinian Health Ministry in the occupied West Bank said Israeli forces killed two Palestinians in the territory, including a 15-year-old, in two separate incidents. The Israeli military had no immediate comment but said it was looking into the reports. The circumstances behind the deaths were not immediately clear. Dialysis services suspended amid fuel shortage The Shifa hospital in Gaza City suspended services at the dialysis unit amid a shortage of fuel required to operate power generators, the Health Ministry announced on Tuesday. The unit provides treatment to dozens of kidney failure patients in northern Gaza. It called for international agencies to press Israel to quickly allow the delivery of fuel to Shifa and other overwhelmed hospitals across Gaza. "The continued lack of fuel means the inevitable death of all patients and wounded in hospitals," it said. Funeral prayers for 7 family members killed in airstrike Mourners held Muslim funeral prayers Tuesday for seven people from the same family who were killed in an airstrike the previous day in central Gaza. The strike hit a family house in the central town of Zawaida late Monday, killing two parents, two siblings and three grandchildren. That's according to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital in the nearby town of Deir al-Balah, which received the casualties.
