LEBANON, AUG 5 – The Lebanese cabinet faces pressure to disarm Hezbollah after a war that killed 5,000 fighters and destroyed much of its arsenal, amid fears of renewed Israeli strikes, officials said.
- In a July 29, 2025 interview, Ibrahim Mrad said, `Hezbollah are traitors and their leaders should be hanged from electric poles.`
- Pressure from the United States and Hezbollah's rivals spiked after last year's war, prompting Lebanon's cabinet to meet on Tuesday to discuss Hezbollah's arsenal.

- There is no agreement so far on a decision, a senior official told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, as sources confirmed no final wording has been reached by ministers.
- Lebanese officials warn that failure to decide on Tuesday could prompt Israel to escalate strikes, with Western donors tying reconstruction funds to Hezbollah's disarmament.
