The Mustaqbal bloc noted on Tuesday that the state’s restoration of its sovereignty can help restore stability in Lebanon.
It said in a statement after its weekly meeting: “The recent instability in the country can be attributed to the widespread possession of illegitimate arms.”
The bloc condemned the attempts to drag Lebanon to war, adding that the residents of the South oppose employing their land for ending the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon’s mission in the country.
It therefore demanded that the government uncover the sides responsible for the firing of rockets towards Israel and the various attacks against the international force.
On Friday, five French soldiers and two civilians were wounded by a powerful roadside bomb that targeted a UNIFIL patrol in the southern coastal city of Tyre.
On Sunday, French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe accused Syria of being behind the incident, saying that it employed Hizbullah to carry out the attack.
Syria and Hizbullah have denied the allegations.
In late November, a rocket was fired from southern Lebanon into northern Israel, prompting the Jewish state’s army to warn Beirut to work to prevent similar attacks in the future.
