Report: Army-Hezbollah panel to be formed to implement disarmament plan

Army Commander General Rodolphe Haykal is likely to take part in the cabinet session that will be held in late August to present the details of the arms monopolization plan, which will be based on “positive understanding rather than confrontation, through a gradual course for addressing the file of arms,” informed sources said.

The plan “will be based on the formation of a joint liaison committee between the army and Hezbollah to locate the positions of arms depots and document them technically in preparation for handing them over to the military institution, without resorting to force,” the sources told the Nidaa al-Watan newspaper.

The weapons “will be either returned to Iran or disposed of as the party decides,” the sources said.

The focus will then move to “the file of Palestinian arms inside and outside (refugee) camps, a file that has been historically sensitive seeing as it involves security, political and regional aspects,” the sources added.
