Makhzoumi: Take Firm Executive Decisions to Secure the Borders

MP Fouad Makhzoumi posted on "X": "The issue of explosives is no longer an isolated security incident. Following the seizure of a shipment in Dahr al-Baydar, the Lebanese Army's announcement about the discovery of approximately 200 additional kilograms of explosives on the Lebanese-Syrian border confirms the severity of the security challenges facing the country. In reference to the parliamentary question I submitted to the government regarding the Dahr al-Baydar explosives, I call upon His Excellency the President of the Republic and the Prime Minister to take the initiative to convene an urgent extraordinary session of the Council of Ministers, dedicated to the security situation, with the attendance of the relevant security leaderships, to take firm executive decisions to secure the borders, prevent the transfer of explosives and weapons outside state authority, pursue the involved parties and reveal who stands behind them, and hold those responsible accountable according to the law. The gravity of these events necessitates moving from investigations and statements to concrete security decisions and measures. The safety of the Lebanese people is not a routine administrative file, and state sovereignty cannot tolerate any laxity or postponement."
