US Envoy “Unbelievably Satisfied” with Lebanon’s Response on Hezbollah Disarmament

U.S. special envoy Tom Barrack has praised Lebanon’s government for its swift and comprehensive reply to a U.S. proposal calling for Hezbollah’s disarmament, telling reporters he’s “unbelievably satisfied” with their seven-page response.The proposal links disarmament with Israel withdrawing its troops and halting airstrikes.While Lebanon affirmed its commitment to a state monopoly on weapons, Hezbollah has resisted full surrender, arguing it needs arms to defend against Israeli aggression.Barrack hinted that U.S. support for Lebanon—potentially including reconstruction aid—may depend on moving forward, stressing the urgency as regional dynamics rapidly evolve.
