The Prickly Issue of Disarming Palestinian Factions in Lebanon
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas recently reached an agreement to regulate the presence of armed Palestinian factions in Lebanon as the country manages Hezbollah’s weapons caches in the south in accordance with the November 27, 2024, ceasefire arrangement with Israel. The Lebanese-Palestinian accord ostensibly ended the factions’ independent armed presence inside Lebanon’s Palestinian refugee camps, which are outside of the control of the Lebanese state. A Lebanese-Palestinian Dialogue Committee subsequently met with Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam and decided on a timetable for implementing the disarmament plan, which will begin in mid-June in Beirut-area camps and expand gradually to others in the south and north of the country.
