Lebanese lawyer challenges negotiations decision

Lebanese lawyer May Al-Khansaa filed a legal review on April 16, 2026, before the State Council against President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam. She demands they retract their decision to negotiate with Israel, arguing it violates Lebanon's constitution, laws, charter, and penal code. The review was registered under case number 26889/2026 and represents domestic pushback against the government's diplomatic approach amid ongoing tensions.
