Content
We are open to discuss the fate of the weapons of the resistance, which is our pride and honour, under the roof of the constitution.
[...] We reiterate that we are open to discussing the fate of those weapons … in a calm and consensual dialogue.
[...] What is proposed in the American paper goes beyond the principle of (a state) weapons monopoly, and rather appears as an alternative to the November ceasefire agreement.
[… Berri rejected holding dialogue under "threats" that undermine the truce agreement, warning that] diabolical minds and hate speech are more dangerous to Lebanon than the resistance's weapon, which liberated our lands. How to cite this document
