The United States’ plan to disarm Hezbollah in Lebanon is facing significant hurdles. US envoys attempted to influence Lebanese leaders, but the Lebanese army has refused to take actions that could jeopardize the country’s stability. American officials, including Thomas Barrack and Morgan Ortagus, engaged in meetings with prominent Lebanese figures, attempting to pressure the nation’s leadership into addressing Hezbollah’s armed presence. A central point of discussion was the army’s role in disarming Hezbollah, but the army chief confirmed that the military would not take any steps that might disrupt national peace.
