Bahaa Hariri from Beirut's airport: I will return to settle in Lebanon in September
Back in Beirut on Wednesday, Bahaa Hariri, son of the Sunni leader and former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, told LBCI that he intends to move back to Lebanon 'permanently' with his family in September. Speaking from Rafik Hariri International Airport, Bahaa Hariri said he plans to carry on the legacy of his father, who was assassinated in 2005, especially now that his brother, former Prime Minister Saad Hariri, has stepped back from political life since 2022. 'We are at the head of Harirism,' he declared. Upon his arrival in Beirut, Bahaa Hariri emphasized that 'Lebanon and the region are going through a delicate phase' and that the country needs 'loyal and sincere' leaders. 'I will return to settle permanently in Lebanon with my family in September,' he added, stating that he would 'try to help as much as possible.' From the airport, Bahaa Hariri went directly to the tomb of Rafic Hariri in downtown Beirut, where he laid a flower bouquet. Bahaa Hariri had already tried to make his mark during the 2022 parliamentary elections, seizing on his brother's absence. Despite his efforts, his candidates achieved only a meager result, despite a large-scale media and political campaign. He was notably criticized for running his campaign from abroad. He also attempted a comeback in 2024, but failed to rally much support. But today, the context has changed. The Shiite Hezbollah is strongly weakened after last fall's war against Israel. Meanwhile, the Sunni community feels strengthened by the fall of the Syrian regime of Bashar Assad and the return of Saudi Arabia to the Middle East. While Saad Hariri has promised his supporters a 'comeback' in 2026, that prospect remains uncertain, especially as Riyadh appears to be searching for one or more alternative leaders for the community it sponsors.

Lebanon's culture minister hails Ziad Rahbani as ‘exceptional talent'
Lebanon's Culture Minister Ghassan Salame described Lebanese composer Ziad Rahbani as 'an exceptional talent,' and a vital part of his family's artistic legacy in the Arab world and the Levant. Salame told LBCI that Rahbani 'was aware of the weaknesses and shortcomings of Lebanese society and dared to highlight them.' He added that the ministry places itself at the full disposal of the late Ziad Rahbani's heirs, as they hold the intellectual rights to his work. 'If they wish to preserve and honor his legacy, they have every right to do so,' Salame said, adding that if the family entrusts this task to the state, the ministry is fully prepared and willing to take it on with the necessary resources.

Nâdiya: I camped with UN Peacekeepers in South Lebanon
Mr. and Mrs. Zighem have always watched Lebanese television. This Algerian couple often tuned in to LBCI and, in the 2000s, never missed an episode of the pan-Arab "Star Academy."Sometimes, to their surprise, they would see their young Nadia, energetic and proud, electrifying the audience with her martial the time, their daughter was shining in France, and even beyond. Not as Nadia Zighem, but as "Nâdiya." Why that spelling? Nâdi, in Arabic, means "the one who calls." Ya, a particle used before Allah to address him..."There you go!" smiles the artist as she provides the explanation to this predictable, slightly silly question. Mystical references slip into every answer from the singer, an icon of a generation, who is making a comeback at age from the hip-hop aesthetic of her famous...
