Lebanon's role in the US-Iran ceasefire is anything but clear. And it could make or break the fragile truce. The big question remains: Can the group actually be demobilised? Or are we heading toward more escalation? What do you think… is this a real chance for de-escalation, or just a pause before the next crisis?
Disarming the militants is not what you get when you concede usually.
As the British found in Northern Ireland, disarming a militant group is an impossibility. The American regime cannot understand that Hezbollah is a deep rooted entity with significant Shia support.
Disarming them = expansion of Israel.
? Mais pourquoi ?
If you unalive enough of them sure, especially it's leadership.
Can the army committing genocide in two countries also be disarmed?
If France hosted an army that shot rockets at the UK,, I guess that would be fine
Israel doesn't know meaning of the word Ceasefire, that's why they always respond with heavy bombardment
Take out any financial backer of an armed group and they'll be dead in weeks.
Hezbollah should relocate to Iran Period!!!!
Let's be honest here.
Without cutting out Iran Hezbollah will stay a militant group.
The same with the other proxies.
The main problem is Iran itself is a Russian/ Chinese proxy…
And they do take up the support,..
It depends on whether Israel is disarmed. No mention of the ongoing genocide of Palestinians. Why would anyone negotiate with war criminals?
The only enduring way to suppress Hezbollah is that turning civilians against it and preventing weapon shipments..
You describe Hezbollah as a “militant” group instead of terrorist group. Hezbollah has spread around the world with 2 terror attacks in Argentina, amongst many other. Hezbollah failed to respect the terms of the last ceasefire, they decided to join Iran in this war… but you blame Israel for responding? Lebanon had one year to disarm Hezbollah. They failed to do that.
You mention the Lebanese people displaced and not the Israeli people displaced or killed? Seems like a biased report. Get your facts straight.
I could hear whitewashing… Hizbollah is entirely a t*r.ro.rist entity. There is no split!!! Political arm is as much criminal as the military arm.
I see transferring arms to the state and integration in the army under an amnesty law instead of disarming is more viable and serves both Lebanon's and Israel's security.
In the end, no argument can win as long as Israel poses a threat and occupies parts of the weak state of Lebanon, with no alternative for defense except non-state actors.
Why diarm resistant group! Better we diarm Israel
They will dusarm the Lebanese army. 😂😂😂
If diplomacy works then no more war today.these officails knews hezbollah there goal is israel and their loyalty is only on iranian.thats it.. its not make sense lebanon want to talk to israel they themselves cannot dis arm hezbollah… israel can disarm hezbollah and when israel defeat hezbollah then lebanese gov can have freedom from these terrorist group,
Israel itself is the main problem.
Remove Israel, and problems are solved. Good lord it's a miracle! 😮😅😅 How many years has this fight been going on?
Of course you can disarm Hezbollah. But will you disarm Israel first?
Disarm Israel, they are the ones invading constantly
The way that Israel is going they might have to disarm Jesus pretty soon,what is the attacking everyone madness all about?for a small country like Israel do they really think that it changes the fact that they're not even a middle power.
Hezbollah can be disarmed by flattening Lebanon just like Hamas has been successfully disarmed by flattening Gaza (Irony off)
Its just not about Hezbollah.
It’s solely about having an endless war to create Greater Israel and keep Bibi out of courts, no matter the costs.
What about disarming Israel, the most terrorist state of all time?
