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.

Lebanon has received an official paper containing Paris’ vision for resolving the border conflict with Israel, following the previous unofficial paper, media reports said.
“The new paper was submitted by the French embassy in Lebanon on Wednesday and is written in Arabic, French and English, knowing that the previous paper contained only an English text,” the Nidaa al-Watan newspaper reported on Thursday.
