Decline in Hezbollah Disarmament Threat
The article discussed the decline of Syrian threats to disarm Hezbollah, as it was previously believed that the new Syria might play a direct role in ending the illegal weapons held by the group in Lebanon—especially after the fall of Bashar Assad's regime and the waning Iranian influence in Damascus. However, the reality has changed, and Syria's role has become limited to indirect pressure through control of the Syrian-Lebanese border, restricting smuggling, and avoiding direct confrontation with the party, which possesses extensive organizational structure and military experience. Additionally, Washington is keen to leverage Syrian influence to reduce Hezbollah’s capabilities without direct military confrontation, given the sensitivity of the regional situation—particularly with Israel—while Syria continues to bolster its security along the border. Ultimately, the goal has shifted to keeping the disarmament of Hezbollah within the hands of the Lebanese state, restricting its ability to rebuild its strength through Syria, and avoiding costly military clashes in the region.
