US Revives Arms Framework
Washington intends to continue pressuring the Lebanese state to disarm Hezbollah, while keeping the framework agreement between Lebanon and Israel as the basis for a settlement and for discussions on security arrangements in the south. This is despite the talks being frozen and Lebanon’s refusal to discuss such arrangements before Israel withdraws from the occupied south. US demands include security and judicial measures, disarming Hezbollah north of the Litani River, and financially isolating the group. Washington opposes extending UNIFIL’s mandate and does not support replacing it with another international force. Hezbollah, meanwhile, refuses to give up its weapons and, according to the article, seeks to use developments in US policy for domestic leverage—pressuring the government to reverse its decision to bring weapons under state control. This points to a deepening political impasse in Lebanon.
