The Lebanese government announced on X that "the first phase in the process of handing over weapons from Palestinian camps will begin today. This is the first step, and there will be additional transfers in the coming weeks." According to the statement, "the handover of weapons implements decisions from the Lebanese-Palestinian summit held on May 21, 2025, between Presidents Joseph Aoun and Abu Mazen, which affirmed Lebanon's sovereignty over all its territory, the expansion of state authority and the application of the principle of exclusivity on weapons."
