Head of the Change Movement Party, Attorney Elie Mahfoud, asserted that the state cannot coexist with illegal weapons, because simply accepting this equation means the collapse of the very meaning of the state.
When weapons become more powerful than the law, the nation is not facing internal partnership but rather foreign tutelage managed by Lebanese hands. Mahfoud affirmed.
He added: Every break between Lebanese law and armed factions confirms one fact - the decision is not in Beirut but in Tehran.
A party that carries its weapons on foreign orders does not represent a nation but rather a transnational project for which the Lebanese pay the price with their homes, livelihoods, and blood, he maintained.
The equation is done - Iran decides, Hezbollah implements, and Lebanon is buried under the consequences.
