Lebanon Authorizes Army Plan to Disarm Hezbollah by Year’s End

The decision follows a U.S.-brokered framework linking disarmament to an Israeli pullback plus pledged reconstruction aid.

Overview

  • After the army presented its blueprint on September 5, the government said the Lebanese Armed Forces will carry out the plan by the end of 2025.
  • Hezbollah has rejected relinquishing its weapons and ties any discussion to an Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon, a halt to strikes, prisoner releases and the start of reconstruction.
  • Israeli strikes in the south intensified in recent days, killing at least five people, according to Lebanese official sources.
  • Officials frame the effort under the November 2024 U.S.-negotiated ceasefire and a UN-backed provision reserving arms to state forces, with the border area to be secured by the Lebanese army and UNIFIL as Israel retains some strategic positions.
  • U.S. envoy Tom Barrack’s mediation envisages U.S. and Arab funding for rebuilding in exchange for progress, and analysts warn the plan could trigger Shiite minister resignations or large protests after a prior cabinet boycott.
