US plan sees Hezbollah disarmed by year-end, Israeli withdrawal

LEBANON, AUG 9 – The Lebanese army must develop a disarmament plan for Hezbollah by year-end amid US pressure and regional tensions, with Hezbollah reporting 5,000 fighters killed last year, officials said.

  • On August 7, 2025, the Lebanese cabinet approved a U.S.-mediated proposal to disarm armed groups, tasking the army to draft a plan under six security agencies.
  • Amid mounting U.S. pressure, U.S. envoy Tom Barrack has visited Beirut in recent weeks, presenting a timetable for Hezbollah's disarmament, prompting regional security concerns.
  • On August 6, Hezbollah’s ministers, along with Amal and an independent Shiite minister, condemned the decree as a `grave sin` and `a flagrant violation` of sovereignty, after walking out of Tuesday’s cabinet meeting.
  • Security analysts note that Defense Minister Yoav Gallant cautioned, `Israel will not hesitate to take matters into its own hands` if Lebanon fails to act recently.
  • Under the proposal’s framework, Phase 1 requires issuing a decree within 15 days and full disarmament by Dec. 31, 2025.
