Aoun affirms Lebanon's control over legitimate weapons

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun affirmed that Lebanon is exclusively committed to the sovereignty of the state and its monopoly on legitimate weapons. He emphasized the extension of the Lebanese Army's authority over all territories in accordance with UN Resolution 1701. He also reiterated the Lebanese people's continued demand for the disclosure of Imam Musa al-Sadr's and his companions' fate, stressing that their case remains a national and humanitarian issue. Furthermore, he underscored that the only weapons that carry guns on the land are those of the legitimate state, and that security is a national responsibility that includes everyone. In the same context, the American embassy clarified that the Lebanese government is the only entity authorized to conduct Lebanon's future negotiations. The United States calls for Hezbollah to disarm and hand over its weapons, noting that it currently does not wish to engage in dialogue with the state or the international community and is executing orders from Iran.
