Prime Minister Nohad Machnouk delivered a speech before the House of Representatives addressing the repercussions of the war in Lebanon. He pointed out that the cost of the last two wars exceeded $20 billion, and could reach $27 billion after accounting for the losses from the 2026 war. The wars resulted in approximately 9,000 deaths, injuries to over 30,000 people, and the displacement of more than a million Lebanese, with over 250,000 remaining away from their homes. Around 91,000 housing units were partially or fully destroyed. Machnouk also reviewed government efforts to manage the displacement, including distributing food and monetary aid, and providing water and fuel. He emphasized that only the Lebanese state has the authority to negotiate on behalf of Lebanon, in accordance with Article 52 of the constitution, contrasting with regional pathways, and reaffirmed that negotiations are conducted under the auspices of the President of the Republic and the Prime Minister.
