President Joseph Aoun traveled Tuesday to Doha on an official visit, following an invitation from Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani.

President Joseph Aoun has said that “2025 will be the year of limiting arms to the hands of the state,” reassuring that “Hezbollah will not be dragged into a new war.”

Lebanon's health ministry said an Israeli strike killed one person in the country's south on Tuesday, the latest such attack despite a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.

A "drone strike carried out by the Israeli enemy on a vehicle in the town of Aitaroun killed one person and wounded three others including a child," the health ministry said in a statement.

A French military plane carrying bomb disposal equipment donated to the Lebanese Army landed Sunday at the Rafik Hariri International Airport, the army said on Tuesday.

Lebanese depositors will get their money back "but it may take time", Economy Minister Amer Bisat said Monday.

"Nobody will lose their deposits but it may take time," Bisat told American news agency Bloomberg, adding that he believes that parliament will pass a draft law on restructuring Lebanon's banking sector within few weeks.

President Joseph Aoun said Monday that the army is implementing U.N. Security Council Resolution 1701 in the southern villages and towns.

"The army is fully performing its duties in the villages and towns from which the Israelis withdrew, which confirms its ability to protect the citizens," Aoun said as he met with member of the United States Senate Committee on Appropriations.

The Saudi envoy in charge of the Lebanese file, Prince Yazid bin Farhan, met Monday morning with President Joseph Aoun in Baabda, LBCI TV reported.

Hezbollah will not hold a dialogue over its weapons with "those who do not consider Israel an enemy", the group's MP Hassan Fadlallah said Monday, as President Joseph Aoun renewed his appeal for Hezbollah to lay down its weapons.

Aoun said many times that Hezbollah's disarmament can only happen through dialogue and not by force and that Hezbollah "has shown a lot of leniency, flexibility and cooperation over the arms issue."

Prime Minister Nawaf Salam met Monday in Damascus with Syria's interim president Ahmad al-Sharaa, accompanied by a Lebanese ministerial delegation comprising the ministers of foreign affairs, defense and interior.

The meeting was also attended by Syrian Defense Minister Asaad al-Shaibani.

Free Patriotic Movement chief Jebran Bassil said his party supports the state against any "militia", as President Joseph Aoun renewed his appeal for Hezbollah to lay down its weapons.

"We have never been and we will never be a militia," Bassil said Sunday, adding that his party supports the state, the Lebanese army, the presidency, and all constitutional and legitimate institutions against any militia. "When the state fails, when the militias win, we go back to war," he said in a speech marking the anniversary of the outbreak of Lebanon's 1975-1990 civil war.
