Australia’s national inquiry into AUKUS is scheduled to begin in parliament today, according to multiple live updates from major Australian outlets. The reporting frames the inquiry as a parliamentary process focused on examining the AUKUS arrangements.
Separately, the outlets also report international developments involving Israel and Lebanon. They say Israel halts a planned assault on Beirut after a phone call, with former U.S. President Donald Trump described in the updates as saying the pause would take place following that call.
Across the sources provided, the two main threads are the timing of the AUKUS inquiry in Australia and the reported halt in a planned Israeli operation in Beirut linked to a phone call attributed in the live coverage to Trump. The coverage is presented as live, ongoing reporting, without additional confirmed operational detail in the excerpts supplied. The articles are largely aligned in describing these two developments and their timing but do not, in the provided text, offer further specifics on evidence, scope, or outcomes.
