Mustaqbal Movement leader Saad Hariri on Monday said an end should be put to using the resistance weapons against the state and the political community.

Hariri made the remark at an iftar banquet in the southern provincial capital of Sidon.

Hariri also noted that the concept of "disarming the resistance is over."

"The challenge Lebanon is currently facing is linked to its mere destiny," Hariri said.

Such a challenge, he added, would not end by the session of national dialogue scheduled for Tuesday at the Baabda Palace.

"The dialogue at the Baabda palace reflects two views, the view of a capable state and the view of a non-capable and weak state," Hariri said.

"Frankly we place no bets on achieving decisive results in the first session," he declared.

"We are looking forward to a serious discussion that draws the final limits to the use of weapons so that they would not be means to threaten the state and other political groups and so that they would not be used in the political and election-related activities," Hariri noted.
