We, at the Lebanese Swiss Association, as part of the Lebanese diaspora, express our firm rejection of the ongoing war on Lebanon and call for an immediate ceasefire, in order to protect civilian lives and ensure their safety and security.

We express our full solidarity with the Lebanese people and their right to live in safety and dignity, away from the destruction and conflicts that have exhausted the country for many years.

We also affirm that the issue of weapons outside the authority of the state, foremost among them the weapons of Hezbollah, constitutes a fundamental and serious problem that hinders the establishment of a functioning state and exposes Lebanon to continuous risks. Accordingly, we call for the disarmament of these weapons and their exclusive placement under the authority of the Lebanese state, represented by the Lebanese Armed Forces and legitimate security institutions.

The time has come to build a true state—a state of sovereignty and the rule of law. The time has come to restore independent national decision-making and to establish the principle that arms must be held exclusively by the state.

We call upon the President of the Republic, Joseph Aoun, and the Prime Minister, Nawaf Salam, to assume their national and historic responsibilities and to act immediately to fully implement Lebanese sovereignty and enforce the international resolutions issued by the United Nations Security Council, in a way that ensures Lebanon’s stability and the security of its people.
