Mansour: There are No Weapons in Dahieh
Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour criticized on Saturday claims of the widespread possession of arms in Lebanon, adding that “there are no weapons in Beirut’s southern suburbs.”
He said: “When we speak of weapons possession, it is as if we are saying that cities in Lebanon are filled to the brim with them.”
“Some disputes happen, but where are the weapons in Dahieh?” he asked.
“I am prepared to visit the area to demonstrate that there is nothing to be found,” he stressed.
On Lebanon’s commitment to United Nations Security Council resolution 1701, the minister stated: “Lebanon is implementing and respecting it, but who is stopping Israel’s thousands of violations of Lebanon’s sovereignty?”
