British Ambassador to Lebanon Hamish Cowell attended the closing ceremony for Lebanese airport security personnel who successfully completed the UK-funded Behavioral Detection Training course at the Beirut international airport.

The training took place over a three-week period, delivered in partnership with the Lebanese Army, General Security and Internal Security Forces. It aimed to enhance airport safety for all passengers and counter threats such as terrorism, smuggling, and criminal activity. The training also included 18 female officers from General Security and Internal Security Forces.

President Joseph Aoun on Tuesday welcomed U.S. President Donald Trump’s peace plan for Gaza, lauding “the efforts exerted to end the suffering of civilians and innocents in the Strip, to halt the bloodshed and to jointly work for a stable and prosperous Middle East, based on the principles of humanitarian justice and human dignity.”

Hoping the plan will win the approval of the relevant parties as soon as possible, Aoun praised “the realistic approach that it adopted in addressing the controversial and contentious issues.”

A legislative session scheduled for Tuesday was cancelled for lack of quorum, as several lawmakers including the Lebanese Forces and Kataeb MPs boycotted the session over clashes on the electoral law.

The session was adjourned from Monday to Tuesday after clashes on the electoral law led the Kataeb and LF MPs to walk out of the session, as Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri refused to put the law on the session's agenda.

Speaker Nabih Berri said Monday that, “as usual,” he held an “excellent” meeting with President Joseph Aoun at the Baabda Palace.

“We discussed the current affairs and he briefed me on the outcome of the meetings that he held in New York and I put him in the picture of what happened in Beirut days ago,” Berri added, referring to the controversy over Hezbollah’s decision to defy authorities and project the images of its slain chiefs onto the iconic Raouche Rock.

President Joseph Aoun said Monday that the army is a red line after some local media outlets accused the army and the security forces of allowing Hezbollah supporters to project images of the group’s former longtime leader on the iconic Raouche rock despite a circular by Prime Minister Nawaf Salam that objected to the planned light show.

Salam issued a circular before the event pointing to "the recent recurrence of the exploitation of national monuments for propaganda purposes and to hold activities in which partisan and political slogans are raised."

One person was killed Monday in an Israeli drone strike that targeted an excavator in West Bekaa's Suhmor in east Lebanon.

A similar strike killed the driver of a water tanker in Nabatieh al-Fawqa.

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri said Monday that Prime Minister Nawaf Salam is the prime minister of all Lebanon, and that the government includes everyone, after change MP Firas Hamdan said that Hezbollah and Amal ministers must resign if they don't like Salam.

Hamdan spoke during a legislative session that was adjourned after the Lebanese Forces and Kataeb MPs walked out of parliament, stripping the session of its quorum over a clash on the electoral law and the rights of expats to vote in the upcoming parliamentary elections.

Interior Minister Ahmad al-Hajjar said Monday that his ministry is committed to holding the May 2026 parliamentary elections based on the current law, noting that the law stipulates Nov. 20 as a final deadline for expat registration.

“I remind of the period that preceded the municipal and mayoral elections, when there were doubts about their organization, but we held them on time,” Hajjar said in parliament.

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri threatened Monday to adjourn a legislative session after MP Ali Hassan Khalil of Berri’s bloc accused the Lebanese Forces of not wanting parliamentary elections and a verbal clash ensued.

Khalil voiced his remarks after MP Georges Adwan of the LF said his party would suspend its participation in the sessions of the subcommittee discussing the electoral law, prompting Khalil to say that “it’s clear that the brothers want to torpedo the elections.”

Hezbollah chief Sheikh Naim Qassem has met with Iran’s Supreme National Security Council chief Ali Larijani, in the presence of Iranian Ambassador to Lebanon Mojtaba Amani, Hezbollah said on Sunday.
