A sharp US rebuke of Jumblatt's remarks. A State Department spokesman said : In keeping with his long record, Walid Jumblatt will do and say whatever is best for Walid Jumblatt, with little regard for principle, his own constituency, or the future of his country. Hizballah and their friends thought the so-called Islamabad Track could serve as license for Hizballah to retain its arsenal while Israel withdraws again. That was never a realistic option. The Trilateral Framework is an agreement between two sovereign states, with a clear, reciprocal, sequenced process. Israel has already agreed to withdraw, contingent on Hizballah disarmament and the LAF moving into pilot zones. Relying on Iran to disarm Hizballah is a mechanism for preserving Tehran's veto over Lebanese sovereignty. Hizballah has dragged Lebanon into two suicidal wars on behalf of Iran. In the end, until they are disarmed, Hizballah will do whatever their puppet-masters in Tehran tell them to do and the people of Lebanon will be forced to pay the price. As Ambassador Issa has said, the United States is prepared to engage Hizballah only through the Lebanese state, and only on the topic of disarmament

Hezbollah has reportedly signaled readiness to attempt a coup against Lebanon's government following two security operations targeting the group. Authorities seized a Hezbollah-linked vehicle allegedly transporting more than half a ton of explosives packed with ball bearings and nails from the Bekaa Valley to Beirut and arrested two suspected operatives. In a separate operation, investigators raided a warehouse in the Galerie Semaan area containing cancer medications imported from Iran and India that were suspected of posing health risks. The importing company is reportedly linked to Hezbollah, with unconfirmed claims that it belongs to a son of Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem. During the raid, approximately 15 armed Hezbollah members on scooters reportedly surrounded the investigators, prompting the Lebanese Army to intervene.
