Washington trip: Final Opportunity
The article discusses Lebanon's efforts to make progress in the path of implementing the framework agreement signed under U.S. sponsorship to end the occupation and the proliferation of weapons outside state control. The goal is to confine security decisions to the Lebanese army and prevent the weapon from becoming a permanent burden that hampers the state's sovereignty. The article emphasizes the importance of a genuine Israeli withdrawal from the occupied territories and enabling the Lebanese army to deploy fully. It also highlights the challenges of transforming weapons from a means of resistance into part of the social and political identity, especially in an environment where the state has been absent. Additionally, it underscores the necessity for the state to ensure the protection of the land, the return of the displaced population, and reconstruction, while avoiding the entrenchment of arms as an obstacle to national sovereignty. A clear stance is essential to guarantee the success of the transitional phase.
