Hezbollah has firmly rejected calls from both the Lebanese government and the United States to surrender its weapons, insisting it will not disarm even if Israel withdraws from southern Lebanon.
This stance has heightened tensions within Lebanon and complicated efforts to secure a lasting ceasefire with Israel. US envoy Thomas Barrack has acknowledged that Washington cannot force Israel to act or compel Hezbollah to disarm, underscoring the diplomatic deadlock. Lebanese leaders are under pressure to assert state control over all arms, but Hezbollah's refusal is fueling political divisions and raising fears of renewed conflict.
The situation leaves Lebanon's stability and prospects for peace with Israel in a precarious state.
