The political bureau of the Kataeb Party called on Tuesday for a clear mechanism to collect Hezbollah's illegal weapons, following recent escalations along the Lebanon-Israel border.

In a statement issued after an internal meeting, the Kataeb Party expressed deep concern over the persistent violations of the ceasefire agreement between Hezbollah and Israel. The party reaffirmed its full confidence in the Lebanese Army’s ability to maintain a strong presence along the border and to investigate the circumstances surrounding the rocket fire from Lebanese territory.

Kataeb stressed the importance of avoiding any further justifications for Israeli attacks on Lebanon and urged the Lebanese government to include the issue of illegal arms on its agenda. The party called for the establishment of a precise and explicit timetable for disarmament, arguing that such measures are crucial for breaking Lebanon’s cycle of recurring wars and ensuring long-term stability.

The Christian Kataeb Party is led by Samy Gemayel, who has consistently expressed hostility toward the Shiite terrorist organization.
