Jaafari highlights need for sovereignty to ensure stability and dismisses Hezbollah's armament
The leader of the Lebanese Forces, Samir Geagea, affirmed that the region is going through a challenging and difficult transition phase that will lead to a completely new situation. He considered that the current crisis is not temporary and requires fundamental changes in regional balances, including the potential for a shift in the behavior of the Iranian regime or its complete overhaul. He clarified that Hezbollah's weapons have no place in Lebanon’s future, and that the country has completed about 60-70% of its efforts to eliminate the party’s illegitimate influence. He emphasized that Lebanon’s stability depends on imposing the sovereignty of the state, and that there is no solution to the political and security crisis other than through this approach. Geagea also stated that the fall of Bashar Assad's regime weakens Hezbollah, and that relations with Syria are moving toward normalization, with Syria refusing intervention unless formally requested. He believed that the region is in a difficult transitional phase leading to a new order, asserting that the challenges require a clear stance from the Lebanese state to end Hezbollah’s weapons. He noted that Lebanon is in its final stages of ending this weapon, amidst increasing pressure on Iran to reposition itself within internationally acceptable limits, especially following the Hormuz Strait crisis. Furthermore, he stressed that there can be no political stability or social security without the imposition of state authority, and that the true solution lies in restoring sovereignty and enforcing the state’s authority over decision-making. He confirmed that returning to the past is impossible, and that the current situation demands a decisive shift in regional and local balances.
