The Lebanese were divided after the cabinet session, which “welcomed” the Lebanese army’s plan to limit the weapon in the hands of the state into two categories, the first, which saw in this decision an important start of the weapon’s exclusivity and the path of building the actual state, while the second, considered the decision as a retreat of the cabinet from its decision on August 5. However, it was remarkable in the statement after the session, the phrase “the army will seem to implement a plan to extend the state’s sovereignty according to the available and limited capabilities.” What is meant by it? Does the army have the potential to implement the entire plan?
The military expert, retired Brigadier General Hassan Johnny, affirms that “the army mentioned in its plan the supplies and restrictions,” noting that “the requirements are logistical, numbers, human and financial means that the plan needs and must be secured.”
He indicates, in an interview with MTV, that “the government must seek to secure these supplies, but this does not mean that the army cannot start implementing the plan without these requirements, but rather is capable of its self -powerful forces to start implementing them, as it has already been determined that it will start this, especially in the southern Laiti area as a first stage.”
Johnny stresses that “continuing to apply the plan and achieving the process of restricting the weapon over the entire Lebanese lands requires the provision of some needs, requirements and means, which were defined by the army,” adding: “The government’s responsibility is to secure it by seeking help from friendly and ally countries, whether Arab or foreign, such as the United States,” noting that “if the latter is convinced, or France, or France, or France, or France, or France, or France, or France. You may secure basic support or stimulating other countries to support the army. ”
Can the army apply the entire plan? Johnny answers: “Yes, but as it is mentioned in the plan, there are restrictions, that is, certain steps that must be addressed, and conditions that must be provided in order for the plan to be applicable, and these conditions are related to securing the political decision to implement the plan smoothly and without an armed clash.”
Johnny explains that “the army divided its plan into stages, and the first stage is not easy and it is very important, whether in terms of exclusively the weapon in the south of Litani, which has become almost completed and remains a small percentage of its completion, as only 10 percent of the region may have some weapons or stores, in addition to the areas or highlands that the Israeli enemy occupies, where the occupation is hindering the completion of the implementation of the plan in the south The British.
He continues: “The first stage also includes the weapon containing the Lebanese territories within 3 months, meaning that it is prohibited and moved and prohibited its use, and this is an important step on the path of inventory the weapon, provided that the next stages are followed.”
As for the military expert, retired Brigadier General Naji Malab, he believes that “the Lebanese army can implement the plan to limit the weapon according to the available capabilities, as stated by the statement after the cabinet session.”
He says, in an interview with MTV: “Inventory the weapon means that weapons become for the army and that their presence is also responsible for it, that is, for the army to prevent the transfer or transfer of weapons from one place to another, provided that they are restricted in their whereabouts in its favor.”
And he concludes, considering that “what is going on is the inventory of the weapon, paralyzing it and giving the reassurances to the Americans that the weapon is no longer in service, provided that it is later to search for how it integrates it according to the existing dialogue, which is still open between the Shiite duo and the president of the republic, to reach the national security strategy that protects Lebanon.”
