Lebanese President Joseph Aoun Calls for Hezbollah Disarmament After Occupation Ends

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun stated during a dinner hosted by Lebanon's ambassador to the United States that Lebanon's security and unity depend on having a single state and one army protecting all Lebanese citizens. He emphasized that Hezbollah can be disarmed only after the occupation ends, the army fully takes control, and a state-managed rehabilitation plan is implemented. Aoun's remarks highlight the need for national sovereignty and the consolidation of military power under the Lebanese state.
