Abbas in Beirut: Plan to Disarm Palestinian Camps in Lebanon

Beirut: Mahmoud Abbas's visit to Lebanon focuses on disarming Palestinian refugee camps and improving living conditions for hundreds of thousands of refugees. His meetings with Lebanese President Michel Aoun and Prime Minister Najib Mikati are key to this initiative. A joint committee will be formed to ensure the demilitarization of the camps under Lebanese state authority. "The Lebanese state has said it is committed to extending its authority over all of Lebanon, including the Palestinian camps," reports Jamie Prentis from Beirut. This move marks a significant step towards integrating the camps into the Lebanese state's control, a long-standing goal with implications for regional stability.
