Lebanon faces one of its most decisive moments since the civil war. In this exclusive Reel Talk interview, host Daizy Gedeon sits down with Lebanon’s Deputy Prime Minister Tarek Mitri to discuss the government’s decision to adopt the Lebanese Army’s plan to monopolize all weapons under state control.
Mitri addresses the secrecy surrounding the army’s report, Hezbollah’s rejection of the decision, Israel’s continued violations, and the delicate balance between sovereignty, security, and civil peace. He also reflects on the broader implications of U.S. and French pressure, the risks of civil conflict, and the role of Lebanon’s diaspora in the 2026 election
