إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Army Commander General Jean Qahwaji is expected to tackle next week the aid granted to the Lebanese military with U.S. and Saudi officials, al-Akhbar newspaper reported on Friday.
According to the daily, Qahwaji will travel to the United States to persuade senior officials to grant the Lebanese army U.S. weapons.
Qahwaji aims at buying military equipment for the army from a recently announced $1 billion Saudi grant to Lebanon.
The military chief will later head to Saudi Arabia to follow up the $3 billion arms deal for Lebanon.
The deal is for military equipment and arms to be supplied to Lebanon's army.
On Wednesday, French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian announced that his country will soon provide arms to Lebanon as party of the $3 billion deal after all conditions “have been met.”
The two arms deal come as Lebanon faces the threat of jihadists on its border with Syria.

ask hezbollah to integrate the army and place itself Under ITS COMMAND ; then you will have a strong army... oh! but you prefer iran to command hezbollah not the lebanese state....
otherwise your whining are just pure hypocrisy to maintain the lebanese army weak and a militia strong...

وفي التفاصيل، يوضح المصدر أنّ «أبرز الأسلحة في اللائحة، هي طائرات «الغازيل» المتطوّرة والتي تحمل صواريخ وتُستخدَم للمراقبة، صواريخ «ميلان» المضادة للدروع، ومدافع من عيار 155 ملم، إضافة الى ناقلات جند، وزوارق بحرية مجهّزة برشاشات ومعدّات لمراقبة الشواطئ، في وقتٍ لم تطلب القيادة دبّابات فرنسية».

Unfortunately, there is existing law from the 1960 in the USA stopping weapons with Attack capabilities from being transferred to the Lebanon.
The Isralei zionist powers passed it a long time ago, its the same reason Lebanon cant get fighter jets, good tanks, good ships, good missiles etc... The French have a policy which is similar.
I wish him all the best, but the USA wont help, he will need to spend it in China or Russia to get any major value from it.

Let's hope this happens so that the brave LAF will in fact be able to fight off this horde of savages and blood thirsty killers that came from hell and send them right back to it where they belong.
