Lebanese President Pushes for Army Authority
The article focused on the necessity of the international community's support for the Lebanese army to strengthen its capabilities and hand over control of weapons to the state, within the framework of a long-term plan. Lebanese President Jozef Aoun emphasized that Lebanon is seeking a security agreement with Israel to end hostilities along the border, with a commitment to gradual steps and within a negotiating framework to avoid a new war. He also highlighted the importance of keeping arms in the hands of the state and preventing internal strife, aiming to build a strong and united country. Lebanon faces challenges in securing sustainable financial and military support, with the army’s needs estimated at around two billion dollars annually to upgrade equipment and enhance defensive capabilities. There is also a clear need for a definitive political decision outlining the army’s missions, especially to bolster border defenses and prevent internal unrest.
