Growing Concerns Over Hezbollah’s Stance on Disarmament in Lebanon

Tensions are escalating in Lebanon as the government prepares to discuss the disarmament of Hezbollah during an upcoming cabinet meeting. The United States and Israel are exerting pressure on Lebanon to disarm Hezbollah, aiming to transform it into a political entity without armed capabilities. Before the crucial meeting, which is expected to consider a proposal to retrieve weapons from all armed factions except the state, Hezbollah supporters organized rallies. These demonstrations, involving motorcycle convoys, have been widely interpreted by political analysts and journalists as displays of intimidation, intended to dissuade the government from approving Hezbollah’s disarmament.
