A speech by Lebanese Army Commander General Rodolphe Haykal, rejecting attempts to cast doubt on the military institution, drew reactions at home and abroad. Reports indicated US displeasure, while the newspaper *Al-Akhbar* described the speech as a shift from silence to confronting the campaigns and affirming that the army “is nobody’s punching bag.” The speech came amid pressure on the army to act against Hezbollah’s weapons, as well as a campaign of criticism by officials and political figures, according to the newspaper. Army representatives also rejected forming a direct coordination committee with the Israeli military, according to leaks about talks in Tampa. President Joseph Aoun rejected the idea as well, despite Washington’s insistence as the international forces’ mission in the south nears its end.
