Hezbollah Explosives Seizure Tests Lebanese Authority

Hezbollah's admission of owning hundreds of kilograms of explosives seized in Lebanon has created a significant dilemma for the Lebanese government, balancing state authority against the powerful group's demands, with the US urging the explosives be retained. Meanwhile, on prediction markets, Gadi Eisenkot is favored to become Israel's next prime minister, while the Yashar party leads Likud in anticipated Knesset seat wins, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's tenure is also a subject of significant market speculation. There are also reports of Iran's alleged attempts to disrupt elections. On a more hopeful note, Jordan's Restoring Hope Society is providing critical prosthetic care to over 450 Palestinian amputees.
