Lebanon's President Condemns Israeli Strikes as Dangerous Escalation

🏛️ BEIRUT — The IDF strikes were published yesterday; now a head of state made them his. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Salam's formal condemnation forces France beyond the NGO casualty file. A Lebanese president requesting UNSC emergency session is qualitatively different — Paris can't abstain quietly. With hospital strikes, Mansouri, and Arab Salim already in Brussels' legal dossier, Beirut's sovereign voice makes Italy and France's arms vote the hardest yet.
