The Foreign Minister of Lebanon, Youssef Reji, emphasized that the government's decision to impose a monopoly on weapons in the hands of official institutions and the expansion of sovereignty over the entire country was made with the aim of building the government and not to please any foreign entity. At the same time, Joseph Aoun, the president of Lebanon, said that safe and sustainable solutions are obtained through diplomatic negotiations, not war. Bashara Sharbel, a Lebanese analyst, told Sky News in Arabic that the arms monopoly decision has broad support, but the government has not shown enough seriousness in its implementation. He saw the dissolution of Hezbollah as a prerequisite for Israel's gradual withdrawal from Lebanon and called for the establishment of the army and stabilization of the government's sovereignty, including in Beirut.
