Lebanon needs security and safety from the south to the north. The authorities, with their own forces, must bear responsibility and take the initiative to subject everyone to the law and remove every illegal weapon, Lebanese or Palestinian, so that the situation stabilizes, security prevails, and no one remains captive to fear and anxiety.
Lebanon will not calm down and stabilize as long as Hezbollah insists on keeping its weapons and remaining outside the authority of the state. The presidency is keen not to subdue it by force, in order to preserve civil peace. For its part, [Hezbollah] exploits this to enlarge its influence, issuing threats and warnings through the words of its Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem, the party's MPs and its leaders. Therefore, it is natural for Washington to consider the situation in Lebanon to be in crisis and beyond the state's control. The situation is unstable across the entire region. Airports and several facilities in Gulf countries are being targeted by missiles and rockets, in an unusual scene that has killed people of several nationalities. The Islamic Republic of Iran is not content with that, but threatens daily to set the region ablaze if the United States launches a war against it. Washington, which holds the reins of power, realizes before others the outcome of the situation and acts accordingly.
In the absence of the state, I fear everything... because its absence will leave the mini-state to take its place
Hezbollah essentially acknowledges through its officials that it continues to build its military arsenal, and the explosives seized while being transported, whose ownership it acknowledged, constitute concrete evidence of what has been said
We are not waiting for the report
The continuation of this ambiguity undermines the prestige of the state and the credibility of its decisions. Government decisions must not turn into ink on paper, and the security decision must not be left hostage to understandings outside state institutions. There is no duality in decision, no exceptions for anyone, and no one is above the law.
