Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Aoun says disarmament to happen through dialogue, not force — Naharnet
2025-05-05
Not actually, no. Disarmaments happen after the party of the second part has been defeated, and has no choice. When the party of the second part does not disarm, the war inevitably resumes. In this case, the Lebanese Army is disarming Hezbollah to forestall Israel turning malign attention in their direction as an ally of Hezbollah.
[NAHARNET] President Joseph Aoun has stressed that the Lebanese Army is doing a ''mighty job'' and that its operations are still ongoing in the area south of the Litani River, despite the ''geographic challenges and limited capabilities.''

In a meeting with the editors-in-chief of Emirati newspapers on the sidelines of his visit to the UAE, Aoun added that the army is now focusing on ''defusing the war possibility in the South Litani area.''

''The decision of limiting arms to the hands of the state has been taken, through dialogue over concerns, not through force that leads to civil war,'' the president said.

He added that he will not accept a civil war in the country under any circumstances.
It’s not actually up to you your Excellency.
