The Hasakah Conference emphasized the need for a sustainable solution in Syria through a democratic constitution that upholds and enhances diversity, criticizing the current constitutional declaration as inadequate to meet the aspirations of the Syrian people. The conference called for a comprehensive national Syrian conference involving various factions. Meanwhile, the Syrian Foreign Ministry condemned sectarian and ethnic-based conferences, stating that talk of unity and rejection of division is inconsistent with such gatherings. In Lebanon, the army stressed the importance of citizens and all parties acting responsibly during a difficult period, underscoring the army's role as a guarantor of security, sovereignty, and national unity. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun honored soldiers killed in a munitions blast near Tyre, describing them as martyrs whose sacrifice reinforces the army's role as the nation's shield. Prime Minister Nawaf Salam and the Lebanese Parliament Speaker also paid tribute to the fallen soldiers, highlighting their dedication to national duty. The Lebanese Foreign Ministry condemned recent remarks by an Iranian advisor, labeling them as blatant and unacceptable interference in Lebanon's affairs, and warned against any external party claiming to represent the Lebanese people or asserting guardianship over sovereign decisions. Lebanon urged Iran to focus on its own people's needs instead of meddling in Lebanese matters. The US envoy to Lebanon, Tom Barrack, expressed condolences over the soldiers' deaths and affirmed US support for Lebanon during this difficult time. Additionally, the US has offered to mediate if Lebanon proceeds with disbanding Hezbollah as an armed group, including facilitating an Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire.
