On 7 September, Alsumaria reported that Kataib Hezbollah and Nujaba told the weapons committee they rejected the government deadline, while Shafaq News reported that the four-way meeting between the Coordination Framework and factions was postponed until after 30 September. Watan TV (Badr Organization — affiliated) subsequently reported that Supreme Judicial Council head Judge Faiq Zidan and new US chargé d’affaires Stephen Fagen discussed judicial support for government procedures implementing the Coordination Framework’s state weapons-control plan. Alsumaria did not quote either faction directly, and Shafaq News did not identify the meeting’s participants or the reason for its postponement.

Judicial backing for the programme did not coincide with reported Kataib Hezbollah and Nujaba acceptance of its deadline, while the postponed meeting removes an identified venue for addressing that difference before 30 September.
