Lebanese PM Invokes Liberation Day Solidarity as South Lebanon Burns

🇱🇧 BEIRUT — Lebanon's PM picks Resistance Day to signal which side Beirut is on. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Nawaf Salam invoking Liberation Day solidarity isn't ceremonial — it signals the Lebanese government won't distance itself from Hezbollah's active strikes while Washington pushes a fourth Lebanon-Israel round. With Qassem already blocking those talks, the PM's alignment removes any remaining ambiguity about Beirut's posture. The variable: whether Washington now treats the Lebanese state as a spoiler, not a partner.
