Christian Front in Lebanon urges UN for International Protection and Disarmament of Hezbollah

BEIRUT — The Christian Front in Lebanon issued a statement calling on the United Nations to place Lebanon under international protection and increase support for the Lebanese Army.

The statement emphasized the urgent need to disarm Hezbollah and all associated pro-Iranian militias in Lebanon, while bolstering the Lebanese Army to ensure security and stability across the country.

The Front also called for the election of a president and the formation of a sovereign government, followed by a search for a new system that upholds pluralism, freedom, and human dignity.

Appealing to all Lebanese communities and their political and religious leaders, the statement urged them not to allow Hezbollah to expand its ranks or reorganize its illegal military, security, and logistical operations under any pretext or pressure.

The Christian Front blamed Hezbollah for the displacement of Lebanese citizens, resulting in thousands of martyrs and injured, as well as the widespread destruction of infrastructure and public and private property.

The statement warned that Hezbollah’s actions could lead to the complete collapse of Lebanon’s security, political, social, and economic foundations.
