Who puts the dagger in the army's back?

Defense Minister Major General Michel Menassa warned that no Lebanese should allow himself to be “a dagger in the back of the army,” responding to a political campaign that has demanded the resignation or dismissal of the army commander. The article argues that the military institution must be protected from political targeting without being shielded from criticism, sets out the responsibilities of the Council of Ministers and the army command, and warns that a direct confrontation between the army and Hezbollah could open the door to sedition. It calls for implementing the decision of a safe, weapon-free Beirut and extending state authority, especially in the south.
