Saad Hariri Emphasizes in Beirut the "Monopolization of Weapons by the State"

Former Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri delivered a speech to his supporters in Beirut today, Saturday, on the 21st anniversary of his father, Rafik Hariri's assassination, indicating a move to actively return his political movement to the Lebanese arena.

Implementation of the Taif Agreement and Monopolization of Weapons

Hariri addressed his supporters about the future of Lebanese politics, emphasizing his commitment to fully implementing the Taif Agreement, stating:
"When we say full implementation of the Taif, it means no weapons except in the hands of the state, no administrative centralization, and the abolition of political sectarianism."

Message of Resilience and Continuity

Hariri stressed the resilience of his political movement, adding:
"We and the truth are the majority... National Harirism takes a distance and a warrior's rest but does not break... We are not broken because Rafik Hariri's project is a vision and a belief that Lebanon stands no matter how it falls."

Affirmation of the Future of the "Future Movement"

He addressed rumors about the closure of Future Movement institutions, saying:
"Whoever deceives you that Rafik Hariri's school has closed its doors and that the future has closed its doors, tell him our history has a future."
Thus affirming his movement's continued commitment to the values established by his father and its readiness to return strongly to the political scene.
