Geagea urges implementation of security agreement to disarm non-state militias
NNA - Lebanese Forces Party leader, Samir Geagea, on Wednesday criticized recent statements by Hezbollah officials rejecting the dismantling of the group's military and security wings. He recalled that it was the former government of Najib Mikati that unanimously approved the Security Arrangements Agreement on November 22, 2024. The agreement, Geagea said, clearly mandates the dismantling of all military infrastructure not affiliated with the Lebanese Army or official security forces, and restricts all weaponry—'even light arms'—to those entities across Lebanon. Geagea stressed that Lebanon's credibility must not be further undermined by backing away from the ceasefire agreement, and called on the current government to hold Hezbollah accountable to its prior commitments. The LF leader's remarks came during a ceremony for new Lebanese Forces members held at the party's headquarters in Maarab.

Geagea congratulates Saddi on completing all procedures related to appointment of Electricity Regulatory Authority
Lebanese Forces Party leader Samir Geagea wrote on X: 'My warmest congratulations to Energy Minister Joe Saddi, who, in less than two months, completed all the procedures for appointing the Electricity Regulatory Authority after a delay of 23 years, and after deliberate obstruction and refusal to appoint this authority by all those who have held this ministry since the issuance of Electricity Regulatory Law 462/2002, which has kept the electricity sector a farm for them, their favoritism and their interests, at the expense of the Lebanese citizen who has suffered throughout this period of darkness and gloom.'
