Le Monde: Lebanon and Syria begin new dialogue
Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam met with Syrian interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa in Damascus, marking a significant step in improving relations between the two nations. Salam emphasized a "new chapter" focused on mutual respect and non-interference.
This meeting coincides with Saudi Arabia's efforts to reestablish influence in Lebanon and Syria amid regional changes, including Hezbollah's decline and the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime. An agreement to enhance border security between the countries has also been initiated.
Times Of Israel: Iran wants to drag out talks, Trump wants a deal now. Neither is good for Israel
Recent nuclear talks between the US and Iran have yielded unexpectedly positive outcomes, with both sides agreeing to continue discussions after a productive initial meeting. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi noted the talks' positive atmosphere, a shift from previous Iranian rhetoric against negotiations.
While preliminary, the talks signal a willingness from Iran to engage, likely influenced by external pressures and a desire to test US intentions. However, experts caution that reaching a comprehensive deal will be challenging, as Iran's nuclear capabilities have advanced significantly since the 2015 agreement. The situation poses a dilemma for Israel, which is wary of any agreement that may not fully dismantle Iran's nuclear program.

The Federalist: Exclusive: Report Shows Network News' Maximum Slant
Stocks rose on Wall Street, with the Dow up 312 points. Despite positive economic indicators, including a strong jobs report, media coverage focused heavily on Trump's tariffs and market volatility, often neglecting good news about the economy.
Critics argue that this slanted reporting aims to undermine the Trump administration, highlighting a pattern of fear-mongering in corporate media. The Federal Reserve noted solid economic expansion, yet some outlets continue to speculate about a recession.

The Federalist: The Senior Ranks of America’s Military Have A Loyalty Problem
The U.S. military faces a troubling trend of insubordination and political bias among its ranks, undermining the principle of civilian control. Recent firings of senior officers, such as Vice Adm. Shoshana Chatfield and Col. Sussanah Meyers, highlight a growing disregard for the military's apolitical tradition.
This issue is exacerbated by the influence of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, which some believe have shifted the military's core values. To restore order, there is a call for renewed education on loyalty to civilian leaders and potential disciplinary actions against insubordinate officers.

The Federalist: On Palm Sunday, NYT Makes An Ancient Mistake About Jesus
Rev. Andrew Thayer's op-ed claims Jesus' entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday was a political protest against the Roman Empire, paralleling it to contemporary U.S. politics under Trump. He argues that Jesus aimed to dismantle oppressive systems rather than address sin.
However, the article contends that Thayer misinterprets Jesus' mission, emphasizing that Christ came to offer salvation from sin, not to instigate political change. It asserts that the true message of the Gospel is about grace and reconciliation with God, not political activism.
