Reports address the decline in US administration confidence in the Lebanese authorities over their hesitation in dealing with Hezbollah's weapons file and the Dhahr al-Baydar explosives case, with a warning that Israel's patience may not last. These data intersect with a call by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to President Joseph Aoun regarding the explosives shipment and the case of Ambassador Nada Moawad, and MP Hassan Fadlallah's acknowledgment that the seized car belongs to Hezbollah.
Al-Madan and Akhbar Al-Yawm focused on the US data about declining confidence in the Lebanese authorities and the warning that Israel may not wait, with Akhbar Al-Yawm adding the Lebanese Forces' demand for the Judicial Council, whereas Al Jazeera Net presented the issue within US-Iranian rivalry and led with Rubio's call to Aoun, the Moawad case and Fadlallah's acknowledgment.
