A major standoff has emerged in Lebanon as Hezbollah firmly rejects calls to surrender its weapons, despite mounting pressure from the Lebanese government and international actors, particularly the United States.
The US has proposed a deal involving Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon in exchange for the disarmament of non-state groups like Hezbollah, but the group insists it will not give up its arms under any circumstances. This impasse threatens the fragile ceasefire with Israel and complicates efforts to achieve lasting peace and stability in the region. Lebanese leaders are divided, with some pushing for a state monopoly on arms while others warn of the risks of confrontation.
The situation remains tense, with no breakthrough in sight after repeated diplomatic visits and proposals.
