(Ynet News) Lior Ben Ari - Lebanon's Deputy Prime Minister Tarek Mitri told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed on Saturday that Hizbullah's weapons are a "source of deep division among the Lebanese," and that the Shiite terror group "no longer enjoys the same influence it once had." Hizbullah's declining influence is due in part to its ongoing war with Israel, which has "weakened and exhausted it," and to a growing political consensus around principles such as the state's exclusive right to bear arms, the state's authority over decisions of war and peace, and its responsibility to reclaim all Lebanese territory. Mitri added that these principles have become more entrenched in Lebanese politics, altering the debate around Hizbullah's weapons compared to the past. A source close to Hizbullah told AFP that out of 265 Hizbullah outposts south of the Litani River, "around 190 have been transferred to the Lebanese army." On Thursday, Lebanese Foreign Minister Youssef Rajji confirmed that Beirut had been told it won't receive international aid until all weapons in the country - north and south of the Litani - are brought under control. 2025-04-15 00:00:00Full Article
