FPM leader Bassil: Decentralization is key to reforming the state, and there is no longer any impediment for the return of refugees to Syria
The head of the Free Patriotic Movement, MP Gebran Bassil, stated that administrative decentralization is the foundation of the Taif Agreement and a key to reforming the state, stressing that it remains hostage to a centralized system that fears losing control over citizens' affairs. Speaking at a conference, Bassil said decentralization strengthens state unity and has nothing to do with partition or federalism. "If we genuinely want balanced development, there's no reason to fear decentralization," he added. On the topic of municipal and mukhtar elections, Bassil said: "We encouraged consensus and created a positive atmosphere. Municipalities are not meant for political battles, and we had a clear presence." On the issue of displacement, Bassil stressed that Lebanon is a country that embraces all cultures and nationalities, pointing out at the same time that Syrian displacement and Palestinian refugees are two facets of resettlement, which is contrary to the constitution. "We cannot rely on a centralized plan regarding Syrian displacement, and municipalities have broad powers in this field," he said. He emphasized that there is no longer any impediment to the return of refugees to Syria, noting that illegal immigration is changing Lebanon's identity.

PM Salam dismisses claims of Hezbollah handing weapons to Israel
Prime Minister Nawaf Salam responded to remarks made by Hezbollah Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem, who said the group would not hand over its weapons to Israel. In an interview with Al Jadeed TV, Salam denied that there was ever any discussion about Hezbollah surrendering its weapons to Israel. He said the party's recent vote of confidence in the government during the latest parliamentary session indicates its acceptance of handing over its weapons to the Lebanese Army, in line with the ministerial statement affirming the exclusive right of the state to bear arms. Salam also stressed that no party in Lebanon wants a civil war, and no one has the power to threaten or return to such a conflict. He added that the Lebanese government will convene to adopt and implement a plan to ensure exclusive state control over arms once the details of that plan are finalized.
