Lebanon Debate
US Vows to Limit Hezbollah Role
The article addresses a new international stance focusing on Hezbollah's weapons and its role in the Middle East. During a Security Council session, France and the United States presented divergent positions regarding the disarmament of Hezbollah, within the framework of implementing the Lebanon-Israel agreement, which was overseen by American mediation on June 26, 2026. France called for Hezbollah's disarmament and linked regional stability to meeting Lebanese demands and Israel fulfilling its commitments. In contrast, the United States emphasized that it would not allow Hezbollah to play an active role in Lebanon, firmly rejecting any military involvement by the group in the upcoming phase. The international position hinges on implementing stages of the framework agreement, which stipulates the deployment of the Lebanese army, taking over security responsibilities, creating conditions for a gradual Israeli withdrawal, and disarming outside the framework of legitimate institutions. Hezbollah’s rejection of this is escalating, as it considers that linking disarmament to a full Israeli withdrawal threatens Lebanese sovereignty and forms part of a broader effort to restore the state's full authority.
