US, UK, and allies back Lebanese state monopoly on arms and war decisions

Lebanon ·

Embassies of the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, Canada and Japan issued the statement on Thursday. They described the Lebanese government as the sole entity authorised to hold weapons and decide on matters of war and peace.

Lebanon's government has long sought to bring weapons under state control, while Hezbollah, a Lebanese Shia political party and movement, maintains an armed wing, a central issue in Lebanese politics.
