Political remarks touch Nabatieh, Beirut, and Burj Abi Haidar probe

Media sources, political figures, and diplomatic circles discussed developments related to Lebanon, including the reception President Joseph Aoun received in Nabatieh and its surroundings, talk about the president's visit to Nabatieh, calls for a disarmed Beirut, and attention to the investigation into the Burj Abi Haidar incident as possibly staged. Follow-up commentary said the delay in the negotiation round may be more than a scheduling matter, while a diplomatic source said Lebanese-Israeli talks have turned into a political and media farce and that Israel does not intend to answer Lebanon's key questions. Domestically, there was discussion of a proposal for MPs from the Lebanese Forces to call a vote of no confidence in Energy Minister Joe Sadi, before it was dropped, and of a photo of Saad Hariri on the account of the head of the Saudi Entertainment Authority on Instagram.
