U.S. envoy receives the Lebanese government’s response to Hezbollah disarmament proposal

LEBANON, JUL 7 – The Lebanese government responded with a detailed plan addressing Hezbollah disarmament and economic reforms amid fears of renewed conflict and a six-year financial crisis.

  • U.S. envoy Tom Barrack met with Lebanon's President Joseph Aoun earlier this week to review the country's detailed seven-page reply regarding the disarmament of Hezbollah.
  • Barrack's visit follows a full-scale Israel-Hezbollah conflict that began in September 2024, ending with a U.S.-brokered ceasefire in November 2024.
  • Barrack praised Lebanon's prompt and complex response and stressed the U.S. and Lebanon are committed to finding a resolution to disarm Hezbollah.
  • The conflict killed over 4,000 people in Lebanon, displaced 1.4 million civilians, and left Israel holding five strategic posts, refusing to withdraw earlier this year.
  • Barrack indicated the U.S. will support Lebanon's change efforts but warned progress is required, reflecting Trump's expectation for complete Hezbollah disarmament.
