Hezbollah, Disarmament and Lebanon’s Security
Summary
In r/Lebanon, this announcement covers calls for Hezbollah to prioritize Lebanon and ensure weapons are held exclusively by the Lebanese state. It also highlights proposed guarantees, including the return of Lebanese territory and prisoners and protection from Israeli attacks—key issues in discussions about sovereignty and security.
Hezbollah must be convinced to prioritize Lebanon and not Iran, says Elias Bou Saab
“If the Lebanese state does not have Hezbollah’s approval, it is negotiating over something that it cannot deliver.
“That’s why Hezbollah needs to be convinced that we need to reach a solution to the issue of handing over weapons and ensuring that weapons are exclusively in the hands of the Lebanese state,” he said.
Bou Saab emphasized the need to disarm Hezbollah and ensure that the Lebanese army is the only armed force in Lebanon.
But he said that disarmament was not enough.
“The issue is not simply about handing over weapons. There need to be guarantees, including the liberation of Lebanese territory and prisoners, and guarantees that Israel will not attack Lebanon,” he said.
