Gulf Today
|July 02, 2025
Lebanese officials were drafting a response on Tuesday to US demands for armed group Hizbollah to relinquish its weapons across the country by November in exchange for a halt to Israeli military operations, two sources briefed on the matter said.
-
The deadline has turned up the heat on Iran-backed Hizbollah, which was struck hard by Israel during last year’s war, is suffering a financial crunch and faces pressure in Lebanon to disarm.
Washington's demands were conveyed by Thomas Barrack, US special envoy to Syria and ambassador to Turkey, during a trip to Beirut on June 19.
Lebanon has appointed a committee to formulate a preliminary response, comprised of delegates from the offices of Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, President Joseph Aoun and Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, a Hizbollah ally, the sources said.
It was not clear whether the initial reply would be ready by Tuesday.
