I will not sign a surplus vote agreement with Winter. He is a second version of Bennett
Lebanon needs one state, one legitimate weapon, and a law applied to everyone without exception.
There is no sovereignty for a state that does not monopolize weapons and does not impose its authority over the movement of money. A state within a state cannot be accepted, neither militarily nor financially.
Hezbollah's announcement of allocating large sums of money to shelter affected families raises serious questions about the sources of these funds, how they are brought into Lebanon, transferred and distributed outside official financial frameworks.
Interpretive reservations have several types: there are constructive reservations aimed at correcting the ambiguous meaning without amending it, others that are neutralizing and aim to strip the legislative text of certain defective provisions, and there are also mandatory reservations that include directives on the form or content the text must have in order for its constitutionality to be declared.
This technique — namely interpretive reservations — may only be resorted to if the contested text is ambiguous or raises suspicion of unconstitutionality, so that the Constitutional Council does not encroach on the discretionary appreciation enjoyed by Parliament.
The interpretive reservation approach is a jurisprudential method initiated by the Lebanese Constitutional Council in 2002, in line with European constitutional jurisprudence, specifically French and German, in the course of exercising its oversight of the contested law, whereby it applies once the Council decides to reject the challenge to a given law, but within a framework that interprets the law in a manner that makes it more consistent with the Constitution.
Our goal is to restrict weapons and restore the decision of war and peace
Constitutional review of laws does not mean rewriting them. In Decision No. 12/2026, the Constitutional Council did not merely invalidate specific phrases; rather, it imposed binding reservations that expanded exceptions and added restrictions and provisions that the Parliament did not vote on. In the file of the Islamist detainees, these interpretations must not render the amnesty without effect or entrench discrimination; justice requires fair and transparent treatment. Respect for the Council is a duty, and respect for the limits of its jurisdiction and the separation of powers is a constitutional duty. Reform should be through a law approved by Parliament

I met the new board of directors of the National Litani River Authority, headed by Chairman-Director General Dr. Sami Alawiya, where I gave them directives on the necessity of enhancing transparency and good governance, exerting all efforts to serve citizens, and working to secure financial sustainability.

The son of the South is tired, and wants nothing but to live in safety.

The son of the south is tired and wants to live in safety. We took the decision to save what remains of Lebanon and went to negotiations because war will not lead us to any result.

By turning previously temporary weapons exhibitions into a permanent museum, Kim is institutionalising his military achievements and presenting North Korea's nuclear and missile build-up as a completed legacy that will last in the long term
The exhibition appears aimed at highlighting the achievements of Kim's defence development programme... It gave the impression of propaganda aimed at gaining a strategic advantage ahead of a possible summit between North Korea and the United States
