Beirut, Jan. 2 (SANA) Lebanese Deputy Prime Minister Tarek Mitri called Friday on Lebanon’s security agencies to strengthen cooperation with Syrian authorities to prevent any actions that could undermine Syria’s unity or threaten its security and stability from within Lebanon.
In a post on X, Mitri said reports circulating in the media about movements by supporters of Syrian defunct regime in Lebanon were “cause for concern.” He stressed that Lebanese security services must verify the information and take appropriate measures, describing this as part of their responsibility.
Mitri underscored the importance of enhanced coordination with Syrian authorities based on trust, mutual respect for the sovereignty of both countries, and shared interests.
His remarks follow the release by Al Jazeera earlier this week of leaked recordings and documents showing political and military figures who played prominent roles under the deposed Syrian regime attempting to reorganize and plan armed actions against the Syrian government following the regime’s fall, particularly in the coastal region.
The leaked materials include recordings and phone calls spanning more than 74 hours, including a call between criminal Suheil al-Hassan, who is based in Russia, and former regime brigade commander, the criminal Brigadier General Ghiath Dalla, who is believed to be in Lebanon.
