Lebanon’s Head of the Finance and Budget Committee Ibrahim Kanaan met President Joseph Aoun to discuss the “ceasefire” deal with Israel signed in Washington, DC, and the next course of action for the government, Al Jazeera reports.

“The state’s right to bear arms is a Lebanese matter and a necessity for the protection of Lebanon, particularly in the aftermath of the war,” the Lebanese Presidency quoted Kanaan as saying in a post on X.
