To mark International Women’s Day, the Embassies of the United Kingdom, Canada and Jordan are collaborating on the ‘Ambassador for a Day’ (AFAD) competition for the third year.

Ambassador for a Day is a national essay competition for girls between 15-18 years of age. Each AFAD winner will get to shadow an Ambassador or senior UN Official in Lebanon for one day, to see first-hand how girls can become leaders and advocates for change. This promises to be an unforgettable opportunity to build skills in diplomacy, confidence, and leadership.

The Israeli army claimed Wednesday that Hezbollah tried to rebuild an “arms production site” in Choueifat after the war and that it concealed engineering vehicles during a Lebanese Army inspection visit.

The upcoming negotiations between the U.S. and Iran in Oman will have an impact on the region, including on Lebanon, political sources told al-Joumhouria newspaper in remarks published Wednesday.

Deputy U.S. Special Envoy for Middle East Morgan Ortagus has said that the Trump administration has a real vision for helping the Lebanese people, especially the residents of south Lebanon.

The Trump administration has reversed sweeping cuts in emergency food aid to several nations while maintaining them in Afghanistan and Yemen, two of the world's poorest and most war-ravaged countries, officials said Wednesday.

The United States had initially cut funding for projects in more than a dozen countries, part of a dramatic reduction of foreign aid led by billionaire Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency. Aid officials warned the cuts would deny food to millions of people and end health programs for women and children.

Deputy U.S. Special Envoy for Middle East Morgan Ortagus expressed understanding of President Joseph Aoun’s desire to hold direct dialogue with Hezbollah over its weapons, official sources said.

Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said Wednesday after meeting Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi in Bkerki that cabinet will soon discuss the monopolization of weapons and extending the state's authority on all Lebanese territories.

Salam also called for Israel's withdrawal from the five hills its troops are still occupying in south Lebanon. He said he has discussed this issue with Deputy U.S. Special Envoy for Middle East Morgan Ortagus as she visited Lebanon Saturday.

Hezbollah is ready to discuss its disarmament if Israel withdraws from the five strategic hills it is still occupying in south Lebanon, a report said.

A senior Hezbollah official was quoted as saying that the group is ready to hold talks with President Joseph Aoun about its weapons in the context of a national defense strategy if Israel withdraws from south Lebanon and stops its strikes and violations.
