Parliamentary demands for a Beirut free of weapons and rejection of "security by consensus" Beirut, Lebanon · 2026-11-11 03:23
Lawmakers from Beirut have called for the capital to be free of weapons, while questions from MPs, parties and civil groups keep asking why a security plan has not been carried out. Communications are focused on the fate of Hezbollah's weapons in the south and other areas, tied to the Israeli presence in dozens of towns and a stalled framework agreement.
Hezbollah is a Lebanese Shia political party and movement with an armed wing, and the future of its weapons has been a central question in Lebanese politics for years. The Israeli presence in several south Lebanese border areas is part of the wider dispute over security arrangements.
