04 Jun 2025 14:29 PM Geagea urges swift disarmament of Palestinian camps
Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea warned that pro-resistance factions are pressuring officials to delay the planned disarmament of Palestinian groups, which was set to begin mid-June. He accused these factions of inciting smaller Palestinian groups to reject surrendering arms.
Geagea urged the government to proceed decisively with collecting weapons in Beirut's camps, followed by those in the north, Bekaa, and south, alongside a timeline to disarm all illegal Lebanese weapons.
The LF leader stressed that delays would damage the new administration's credibility and isolate Lebanon from Arab and international support. He called on the president and government to act swiftly and assert state authority.

Hamas says ready to enter into new talks for Gaza ceasefire
by Naharnet Newsdesk 6 hours Hamas' lead negotiator said Thursday the militant movement was ready for a new round of negotiations with a view to achieving a permanent ceasefire with Israel in the Gaza Strip. "We reaffirm that we are ready for a new, serious round of negotiations aimed at reaching a permanent ceasefire agreement," lead Hamas negotiator Khalil al-Hayya said in a televised speech marking the start of the Muslim Eid al-Adha festivities. Hayya added that contacts with mediators in the war were under way, as he revisited point by point Hamas's main current objectives. Israel and Hamas appeared close to an agreement late last month, following discussions mediated by Qatar, Egypt and the United States. U.S. President Donald trump said on May 30 that he believed an agreement for a truce in exchange for the release of hostages held by Hamas was "very close". Israel and Hamas then accused each other of scuppering a proposal submitted by U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff, with the envoy himself describing the Palestinian militants' response as "totally unacceptable". Hayya reiterated Hamas's position that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shouldered the blame for the impasse. He added that his movement had not actually rejected Witkoff's latest proposal but that it had submitted demands for a guarantee of a non-resumption of hostilities following any hostage release.
