US EditionU.S. envoy receives the Lebanese government’s response to Hezbollah disarmament proposal
- On Monday, U.S. envoy Thomas Barrack welcomed Lebanon's seven-page response to his proposal to disarm Hezbollah during a meeting with President Joseph Aoun.
- Barrack presented the disarmament and economic reform proposal last month amid Lebanon's nearly six-year economic crisis and Israel's refusal to withdraw from five strategic posts inside Lebanon earlier this year.
- The Hezbollah-Israel conflict escalated after the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack, causing over 4,000 deaths in Lebanon and 127 in Israel, with Israel continuing airstrikes despite a November ceasefire.
- Barrack commended Lebanon's response as impressively swift and thoughtfully handled given the complexity of the situation, noting that both parties remain dedicated to finding a resolution.
- Hezbollah leaders reiterated refusal to disarm before Israel fully withdraws and stops airstrikes, while Barrack stressed that Hezbollah decisions rest with Lebanon’s government and U.S. support depends on Lebanon’s willingness to change.
