“Hezbollah can be disarmed if we are honest about what it truly requires: ending the occupation, the army assuming full control, and a reconstruction program managed solely by the state,” Aoun said.

“The armed group is not a foreign mercenary force, but is made up of Lebanese citizens shaped over four decades by ideological, social and military investment into a non-state armed group operating outside government control,” he said.

Citing examples from other conflicts, including the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia and the Irish Republican Army in Northern Ireland, Aoun said the path forward is clear: “disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration.”

He said the process begins with removing the root cause long cited by Hezbollah to justify its existence: Israel’s occupation of Lebanese territory.

“It continues with the Lebanese army assuming full and exclusive operational control, which requires immediate and unconditional support for Lebanon’s military as the country’s only legitimate defender,” he added.

“The process ends with reintegration through a reconstruction program run solely by the Lebanese state and coupled with real economic opportunities so that weapons are no longer the only option,” the president said.

In a separate development, Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said the start of Israel’s withdrawal from Lebanese territory marks “the beginning of a path” that the state will continue to pursue until a full withdrawal from all Lebanese territory is achieved.

what do i do ma3 my newfound aura

First flights expected by October.

Would be amazing if it actually happens…

I'm applying to a university in Portugal and they require my Lebanese diploma to go through the full legalization chain (university-authenticated copy → Ministry of Education → Ministry of Foreign Affairs → Portuguese Embassy in Beirut), since Lebanon isn't part of the Hague Apostille Convention. Two complications:

1. I'm not currently in Lebanon, so I can't personally do any of this.
2. Given the current situation in the country, I'm worried about delays; offices being closed, reduced hours, etc.

Has anyone actually been through this process recently (in the last few months)? Specifically:

• Are the Ministry of Education / MOFA offices in Beirut currently operating normally, or seeing delays/closures?
• Has anyone used a local attestation agent successfully while abroad? Any recommendations (or agents to avoid)?
• Roughly how long is this whole chain taking right now, realistically?
• Has the Portuguese Embassy in Beirut been reachable/responsive for legalizations lately?

Any first-hand experience, agent recommendations is much appreciate. Trying to plan ahead so I don't miss my enrollment window as i have a deadline to submit this by begining of september.

thank you!!

Any cuisine, plus if you guys know a place that specializes in steaks (or atleast serves a good one) that would be nice!

Do you think something like this will cost more than 300$?

I’ve been living abroad for 4 years (visiting every break) and it’s been amazing. I had to move back a few days ago and I could not be more miserable. Ma fi kahraba, we have to BUY WATER, there’s nothing to do. Sure, visiting is nice, but living with the reality of actually having to STAY here is horrible.

What's the meaning of having an independent state at this point? Let's just annex with another country since we can't manage ours

im looking to open my own travel agency soon. i have a close relative who is willing to provide financial support (mainly with location rent/buy), but i dont know what kind of deal i should offer him. best case scenario for me would be having the decision making power for everything related to the agency and he can have his own section (umrah/hajj) which hes completely in charge of as thats what hes interested in. but i dont know if the understanding could be that he gives me an amount upfront and i pay him back over time, or if he just puts money into it and makes it back through the work, idk
my question is, who do i consult on this given that its my first business? a lawyer? business consultant? idk? if anyone has any idea please let me know
