General strike over installment plan Two US envoys in Beirut for talks
Lebanon announces the start of a general strike by public sector employees in protest against the installment payment of owed financial entitlements resulting from the wage increase. The protesters argue that this approach contradicts the opinion of the State Council and demand that the dues be paid in full upfront. This comes as preparations are underway for the Parliament to hold a legislative session to discuss important laws, while Lebanese-Israeli negotiations continue amidst their complexities. There is also anticipation regarding Lebanon's demands for an immediate ceasefire, stopping the destruction in the south, and establishing a new testing zone, amid tensions arising from Israel revealing a map proposing the annexation of Lebanese territories.
