Political Council of the Movement: Resistance Must Ensure Weapons are Under Army Control; Israel's Arrogance Obstructs Solutions
The Political Council of the Free Patriotic Movement held its regular meeting, presided over by MP Gebran Bassil, during which it discussed its agenda and issued the following statement: The Council considers the fate of the resistance's weapons to be a pressing national issue, particularly in light of Lebanon's commitments under the ceasefire agreement, the government's oath of office, and its ministerial statement. The Movement reiterates its firm position that all weapons must be exclusively held by the Lebanese Army and official security institutions. Their use must be restricted to the authority of the state. The Council stresses that the resistance's weapons should be handed over to the Army to enhance Lebanon's defensive capabilities—not destroyed or removed from the country. Instead, they should serve to reinforce national sovereignty and territorial integrity. The Council also denounces Israel's continued arrogance, its refusal to adhere to a ceasefire, and its repeated violations of Lebanese sovereignty. These actions are seen as deliberate attempts to obstruct potential solutions and provide justifications for delaying the transfer of weapons—especially in the absence of Israeli withdrawal, the cessation of attacks, and the return of prisoners. Furthermore, the Council emphasizes that the issue of Syrian refugees must be addressed as part of a broader solution. This includes the stabilization of Lebanon's land borders with both Israel and Syria and the full utilization of Lebanon's natural resources—namely water, oil, and gas. The Movement affirms that it is the responsibility of the resistance to contribute to the ultimate goal of placing all weapons under the exclusive control of the Lebanese Army—a goal that must involve all components of Lebanese society. The authority to defend Lebanon must lie solely with the state, of which Hezbollah is also a constituent part.

Hamas Confirms Ongoing Talks Aim to End Gaza Aggression, Ensure Aid Flow
DaysofPal – The Islamic Resistance Movement(Hamas) The Hamas Movement said that the key points in the ceasefire negotiations remain under discussion, foremost among them: the flow of aid, the withdrawal of the occupation from Gaza, and providing real guarantees for a permanent ceasefire. In a statement issued on Wednesday evening, Hamas confirmed that it is continuing its intensive and responsible efforts to ensure the success of the ongoing round of negotiations to reach a comprehensive agreement that ends the aggression on the Gaza Strip and secures the entry of aid. The statement added that, 'In the context of its keenness to ensure the success of ongoing efforts, the Movement has shown the necessary flexibility and agreed to release ten captives.' It continued, 'Despite the difficulty of negotiations on these issues so far due to the occupation's intransigence, we continue to work seriously and in a positive spirit with mediators to overcome obstacles, end the suffering of our people, and secure their aspirations for freedom, security, and a dignified life.' For his part, Hamas leader Basem Naim said that the Movement is keen to reach a ceasefire and end the war as soon as possible, out of concern for the Palestinian people and their future in Gaza. In a press statement, Naim added that since day one of the negotiations, Hamas has sought this goal, but it cannot accept the perpetuation of the occupation or consigning its people to live in enclaves under occupation control, resembling Nazi concentration camps. He continued, 'The occupation insists, to this moment, on remaining in Rafah city, south of the 'Morag' axis, and seeks to deepen its military presence throughout the Gaza Strip based on facts on the ground since March 2, 2025. Additionally, the Israeli occupation wants to maintain the current aid mechanism, which he described as 'death traps,' and offers no real guarantees to end the war, according to Naim. The Hamas leader pointed out that what Netanyahu has failed to achieve in 22 months of war and starvation, he will not succeed in achieving at the negotiating table. Shortlink for this post:
