Beirut decision, Rome talks on arms lift
Summary: It has been a year since the Lebanese government's decision in August 2025 to restrict weapons to the state and to assign the army to begin an implementation plan for this goal. Although the army achieved the objectives of the first phase of the plan in the southern Litani region, the mission remains incomplete due to the ongoing Israeli occupation and escalating tensions. This situation complicates the transfer of areas from unlawful control to state authority and presents internal and external obstacles to the execution. Additionally, negotiations regarding the Israeli withdrawal are now influenced by field and political considerations, with the implementation linked to the approval of the Israeli side. This connection delays the execution of the next phase and raises questions about Lebanon's ability to maintain its sovereignty and control over weapons without the timing of the implementation being contingent on Israel’s position.
