Hezbollah Secretary General Naim Qassem called on the Lebanese authorities to stop talking about confining weapons to the state under the ceiling of Israeli aggression, describing the proposal as disarmament. In a Martyr's Day speech in Beirut's southern suburb, he also urged the Foreign Ministry to summon the ambassadors of five countries over a joint statement on weapons monopoly.
The lebanon debate and Lebanon ON coverage focused on Qassem's call to stop talking about confining weapons and its description as disarmament, while Anadolu Ajansı led with the demand to summon the five ambassadors and placed it in the context of the Martyr's Day speech, the party's rejection of disarming the resistance and its criticism of the Framework Agreement.
