Preparations underway for Army support conference
A meeting scheduled to be held in Doha to pave the way for the Lebanese Army support conference has been postponed, local al-Liwaa newspaper said Thursday.
The daily said it had learned from informed diplomatic sources that the Doha meeting will not take place next week, as scheduled, for technical reasons.
It added that Lebanon is closely coordinating with the countries organizing the conference — particularly France, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United States.
Ad-Diyar meanwhile claimed that official invitations to the March 5 conference in Paris will be sent after the preparatory meeting in Qatar. It said the meeting is expected to take place in late February.
On Thursday, MP Simon Abi Ramia met with President Joseph Aoun and discussed with him the ongoing preparations for the Army support conference and conveyed to him France's commitment to Lebanon's stability and its support for its legitimate institutions.
Abi Ramia had led a parliamentary delegation to France at the end of January 2026.
