Hezbollah 'angered' by Aoun's remarks on arms
President Joseph Aoun’s overnight remarks on Hezbollah’s weapons caused “anger” among the ranks of the party, sources close to Hezbollah said.
“Hezbollah considers that its attempt to keep President Aoun neutral on the issue of arms has failed,” the sources added, in remarks to Al-Arabiya’s Al-Hadath channel.
In an interview with Tele Liban, Aoun said Sunday that Hezbollah's weapons had "outlived their purpose" as a deterrent, saying they were now "a burden on its community and on Lebanon as a whole," while calling on Hezbollah to show rationality.
