The government seems to be moving away from recovering the financial regulation bill and considers its amendment the responsibility of the Parliament, taking into account proposals from the ministerial committee tasked with re-examining the project, while sources following the matter confirm that ultimately, the state will bear the largest share of the cost to cover depositors' commitments.

Several southerners whisper that the Ali al-Taher facility remains under Hezbollah's grip, amid talk of refusal to hand it over to the Lebanese Army, and it is said that the facility's importance extends beyond military aspects, with information circulating about its use as a financial treasury and a place for storing gold pledged in favor of the Good Loan.

A book is expected to be released about an unnamed foreign security figure who played a pivotal role in Lebanon over fifteen years and ended in a tragic manner; insiders familiar with the book's contents say it will cause a stir when it hits bookstores.
