Justice Minister: Hezbollah's weapons obstruct state-building
Minister of Justice Adel Nassar underscored the critical importance of placing all weapons under the exclusive authority of the Lebanese state, asserting that the proliferation of arms has repeatedly drawn Lebanon into destructive conflicts. 'The issue of arms control is not solely linked to foreign factors; it is fundamentally tied to the process of state-building in Lebanon, which requires exclusive control over force to be complete,' Nassar stated. The Justice Minister argued that since 2000, weapons outside state control have failed to protect Lebanon, instead dragging the country into wars and causing devastating consequences, without achieving the so-called 'balance of terror.' Nassar stressed that Hezbollah must recognize that its arsenal stands in direct contradiction to the principles of state-building. 'No party should remain an obstacle to the establishment of a functioning state,' Nassar concluded.

Samy Gemayel calls for justice and state sovereignty on Beirut Port explosion anniversary
The Kataeb Party commemorated the fifth anniversary of the Beirut Port explosion by honoring its late Secretary-General Nazar Najarian and all those who were killed in the blast. Kataeb leader MP Samy Gemayel said the pain remains: 'We are still mourning our beloved brothers and comrades, and we are entrusted with carrying forward the path of justice.' He stressed that such a devastating explosion could not have occurred under a fully functioning state. 'Our goal is for this tragedy—and the latest war—to mark the end of Lebanese sorrow,' he said. Gemayel called on President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam to recognize the gravity of the current moment: 'People expect them to lead Lebanon out of lawlessness, impunity, and militia rule, and toward a state governed by the rule of law, where the judiciary performs its duty and no weapons exist outside state authority.' Addressing the issue of Hezbollah's arsenal, Gemayel said, 'Those rejecting the handover of weapons today are doing so under the pretext of protection, but the real protection lies in building the state.' He described Tuesday's upcoming cabinet session as 'historic,' urging the government to make a decisive move toward restricting weapons to the state alone—not to appease external actors, but as a necessary step to building a real state.
