Lebanon is striving to place all weapons under state control as part of a broader effort to stabilize the country. While the first phase of this arms control plan has been successfully completed, the second phase is encountering numerous obstacles that threaten its effectiveness. Key among these challenges are recurring Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement, which complicate the security landscape, and significant internal political disputes that hinder consensus on the arms control strategy.

The ongoing Israeli activities not only raise tensions within Lebanon but also lead to fears about national security and sovereignty, thus complicating any efforts to consolidate arms control. This situation is further exacerbated by the current political climate in Lebanon, where divergent views among various factions prevent a unified approach towards arms regulation. The political instability and the lack of agreement on national defense policies slow down the implementation of the critical measures needed for the transition to a state-controlled arms environment.

As the Lebanese government continues to navigate these complex challenges, the implications of failing to successfully manage arms control could be dire. The potential for increased violence, continued foreign interference, and the public's loss of confidence in the government's ability to maintain order loom large over Lebanon's future. Thus, it is crucial for the country to address these issues effectively to achieve long-term stability and security.
