Disarmament Still First
The Lebanese file is frozen pending next Tuesday’s U.S. midterm elections. But messages from Washington to Beirut make clear that the results may change the tools of pressure, not the priority of disarming Hezbollah and ending its independent military capability. According to sources cited by *Al-Diyar*, the conditions include rejecting the renewal or replacement of the international forces; addressing issues in the south through direct communication between the Lebanese and Israeli armies; and withholding aid to Lebanon until Hezbollah hands its weapons over to the state under U.S. supervision and Israeli monitoring. Washington believes that continued support for Lebanon—and its future—depends on the government’s actions and its ability to prevent the country from being dragged into a new war.
