Lebanese President Joseph Aoun recently announced his intention to lead a direct dialogue with Hezbollah's leadership regarding the transfer of its weapons to legitimate state authorities. He also expressed support for the integration of Hezbollah members into the national military establishment - not as an autonomous resistance force akin to the Popular Mobilization Forces, but as part of the state's official defense apparatus. This initiative is a key component of President Aoun's broader efforts to resolve the ongoing dilemma of Hezbollah's weapons, which continues to obstruct reconstruction efforts and delay the flow of international aid.
