The Lebanese President and the Army Chief of Staff met on Friday, according to a report by Ynet, to discuss what they termed "the ongoing Israeli strikes" on Lebanon. The meeting was held at the Presidential Palace, although no further details on the outcomes or any decisions were released.
The meeting took place against the backdrop of a sustained period of Israeli airstrikes on Lebanese territory. As The Zioneer reported, the Lebanese Army condemned the strikes on June 20, and the president engaged in diplomatic contacts with U.S. and Qatari officials on June 22 regarding a potential ceasefire. Israeli operations have continued to target Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley.
This meeting between the president and the army chief appears to be a direct coordination of the military and political response to the ongoing strikes. It remains unclear whether the meeting will lead to any change in Lebanese policy or military posture. No official statement from the presidential palace or the army has been released beyond the brief report.
