U.S. envoy receives the Lebanese government’s response to Hezbollah disarmament proposal
- U.S. envoy Thomas Barrack met with President Joseph Aoun earlier this week and was presented with a seven-page response regarding the proposal to disarm Hezbollah.
- The response followed Barrack’s proposal last month aiming to disarm Hezbollah and implement economic reforms amid Lebanon's nearly six-year economic crisis.
- Since the ceasefire in November, Israel has launched hundreds of airstrikes across Lebanon, resulting in approximately 250 deaths and over 600 injuries, while maintaining control over five key positions within Lebanese territory.
- Barrack praised Lebanon’s response as remarkably swift and intricate, and reaffirmed the commitment of both the U.S. and Lebanon to reach a resolution.
- The exchange indicates possible progress toward disarming Hezbollah, although the group refuses to disarm before Israel fully withdraws from southern Lebanon and stops airstrikes.
