Lebanese Prime Minister Tammam Salam emphasized the importance of maintaining the neutrality of the Lebanese Army, stating that it should not be positioned against anyone. His comments come during a period of heightened political sensitivity in Lebanon, where various factions often have divergent interests.
According to LBC, Salam also reaffirmed the government’s commitment to a decision regarding the monopoly on arms. He declared that there would be no rollback on this critical policy, which aims to ensure that only the state possesses arms, thereby reinforcing state authority and stability.
