Mahfouz: Reasons Against Party Member Integration into Army
The Movement for Change, led by Eli Maḥfūd, clarifies that it is impossible to integrate elements of Hezbollah's militia into the Lebanese army and security institutions due to sovereignty and legal considerations. He pointed out that the loyalties of the army must be exclusively for the state, and that the military doctrine of the army is entirely different from that of the organization, further reinforcing the impossibility of unification. He also emphasized that the state's military and security decisions must be independent and unified, and that the state possesses the only legitimate weapons. Linking with an external organization endangers the confidentiality of plans and secrets. He noted that enlistment in the army should be individual and in accordance with legal conditions, and that the unity and independence of the army are the foundation of Lebanese sovereignty. Integrating a parallel military structure threatens the country's sovereignty and undermines the separation of powers.
