Lebanese President Joseph Aoun received Prime Minister Nawaf Salam at the Baabda Palace, where they discussed the general situation in the country, especially in the south, as well as government files ahead of Thursday's scheduled session. The meeting also addressed the results of the visits by the Qatari and French foreign ministers to Beirut and development projects.
Lebanese outlets differed in scope: one limited itself to the official announcement of the meeting and a question about its content, one detailed the topics discussed (the south, the recovery plan, and the visits of the Qatari and French foreign ministers), and another focused on the timing ahead of Thursday's cabinet session.
