Al-Ra'i: State Gun Monopoly Should Not Divide Lebanon
The article focuses on the stance of Maronite Patriarch Cardinal Bechara Boutros al-Rahi regarding national issues in Lebanon. He emphasized that the exclusivity of weapons by the state should not become a cause of confrontation among Lebanese people or fuel sectarian divisions. He clarified that maintaining the unity of the military institution and supporting it with arms is fundamental to preserving Lebanon's sovereignty, and that negotiations and settlements are necessary to protect the country's rights and restore security and stability, especially in the south, which suffers from security gaps and the voluntary return of displaced persons. He also stressed that love, sacrifice, and collective work are the foundation of Lebanon's salvation, and that reforms require a new social contract ensuring the unity and sovereignty of the state. Additionally, he called for everyone to prioritize national interest above all other considerations.
