Aoun, Salam discuss preparations for Friday's key cabinet session
President Joseph Aoun met Monday with Prime Minister Nawaf Salam and discussed with him the preparations for Friday’s important cabinet session that will tackle the army’s plan for arms monopolization.
Salam also briefed Aoun on the outcome of his latest visit to Egypt and his talks with President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and a number of top officials.
Deputy Prime Minister Tarek Mitri said Saturday that “Hezbollah, the army and the government have agreed to avoid confrontation.”
“The government will not back down from its arms monopoly decision,” Mitri added.
The Lebanese government's decision to disarm Hezbollah by the end of the year was made under heavy U.S. pressure and amid fears of expanded military action by Israel, which has continued to carry out attacks in Lebanon despite the November ceasefire.
Hezbollah has meanwhile rejected the government’s decisions and said that it will deal with them as if they don’t exist.
