13:11 Bassil: MPs are beginning to announce intentions we had warned about, that everything happening regarding expatriates aims to undermine their rights and postpone the elections, and this is starting to become evident

13:09 MP Gebran Bassil from Parliament: We opposed the reconstruction law because the state is taking loans again without a plan, and we are against the draft law on judicial independence and will challenge it

13:08 An Israeli drone is flying at medium altitude over the city of Baalbek and its suburbs

12:58 Fadlallah: An important law was approved regarding a loan to rebuild infrastructure damaged by the Israeli aggression, but it does not cover private homes, and we call for the reconstruction file to be treated nationally, discussed in the budget, with responsiveness already being observed

12:55 MP Hassan Fadlallah from Parliament: The legislative session was held amid ongoing Israeli attacks, and we participated out of our responsibility toward a number of draft laws, with every MP having the right to express their opinion in the manner they see fit

12:54 Bou Saab: I hope to open a new page, with expatriates voting for 128 MPs, the law amended, registration periods for expatriates reopened, and consequently a technical postponement of the elections approved

12:52 Bou Saab: The President is keen not to obstruct any constitutional institution, and when a bloc as large as the “Strong Republic” is absent from a session, it is a sign of concern

12:49 Bou Saab clarifies from Parliament: I said that if we go with the option of reopening the registration periods for expatriates to vote for 128 MPs, we would be obligated to a technical extension of Parliament

12:48 Adwan: We will confront with all our strength any attempt to derail the parliamentary elections, and the government is obliged to hold them on time in accordance with the existing law while clearly stating which provisions it is unable to implement

12:45 Kanaan, commenting on the approval allowing municipalities to collect and transport waste: This is a step toward the administrative decentralization we have long advocated for and to curb the financial waste we have highlighted in the Finance Committee for years

12:44 Adwan: Do not count on any rift between us and the President, as we extended his term twice as army commander, later embraced the inaugural address, and see our duty toward him and our society as shedding light on how things should be

12:40 Adwan: What we are doing is in defense of the presidency as we carry the banner of the new era and change, and the time for “Abou Melhem” style settlements is long gone

12:39 Adwan: We have entered a new phase that requires correcting a 30-year-old course as if nothing had happened, and what we are doing is aimed at avoiding any obstruction to the work of the government of which we are a part

12:37 MP Georges Adwan from Parliament: We are not boycotting legislation or Parliament itself, but rather the flawed practices taking place in the chamber, so should we allow the previous approach to continue?

12:29 French Army Chief: I discussed the security challenges in Lebanon and the region with the Lebanese Army Chief, and we stand with the Lebanese Army to preserve Lebanon’s stability and respect its sovereignty
