Tensions between Prime Minister and Defense Minister
The Parliament has decided to resume its sessions after disagreements over the drafting and amendments to the Amnesty Law, as the "Strong Lebanon" bloc, Hezbollah, and the Strong Republic bloc withdrew due to disputes with President Naufal Salameh and Defense Minister Mansi, which previously led to the suspension of the session. In developments, the council approved the law to abolish the death penalty, ending its suspension of executions since 2004. This is the first such decision in the Middle East, and the Minister of Justice regarded it as a historic step. The disagreements centered on completing the Amnesty Law amid protests from the Free Patriotic Movement, while the international community and the local government continue to monitor Lebanese-Israeli negotiations, with hints of internal tensions and external interventions, especially from the United States. This also reflects ongoing political and security challenges that could impact internal stability in Lebanon.
