Lebanese President Joseph Aoun toured Nabbatieh and pledged to residents that he would secure Israeli military withdrawal and the return of displaced persons, statements that underscore the presidency’s commitment to resolving the conflict through negotiation rather than military means.

Concurrently, Lebanese media outlets reported a significant rift between the presidential palace and Hezbollah’s top leadership, with disagreements centring on the framework for resuming ceasefire negotiations. The disconnect reflects broader tensions over how Lebanon should approach its negotiations with Israel and international oversight mechanisms.

Aoun’s declaration that “there are no new negotiations with Israel” alongside his visit to an area affected by Israeli strikes represents an attempt to balance domestic political pressures and maintain diplomatic channels.
