Geagea urges swift disarmament of Palestinian camps
Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea warned that pro-resistance factions are pressuring officials to delay the planned disarmament of Palestinian groups, which was set to begin mid-June. He accused these factions of inciting smaller Palestinian groups to reject surrendering arms. 

Geagea urged the government to proceed decisively with collecting weapons in Beirut’s camps, followed by those in the north, Bekaa, and south, alongside a timeline to disarm all illegal Lebanese weapons. 

The LF leader stressed that delays would damage the new administration’s credibility and isolate Lebanon from Arab and international support. He called on the president and government to act swiftly and assert state authority.
