Hezbollah says calls for disarmament, as Israel’s demands say Israel attacks Lebanon news

Hezbollah leader Naim Qasim said that he calls for the disarmament of the Lebanese group only serving Israel, amid pressure from the United States to take such steps.

“Those who are calling for the provision of weapons ask for a way to submit them to Israel … we will not come to Israel.”

Hezbollah appeared from a war with Israel last year, which canceled most of the group’s leadership, killed thousands of its fighters and left tens of thousands of its displaced supporters from their destroyed homes.

The sources told Reuters that the United States is pushing Lebanon to issue an official decision in the cabinet, which is committed to disarmaing Hezbollah, saying that there was a need before the talks resumed from the resumption of Israeli military operations in the country – which are still taking place despite the ceasefire in November last year.

Under the armistice, Hezbollah had to withdraw its fighters north of the Litani River, about 30 km (20 miles) from the Israeli border, leaving the Lebanese army and United Nations peace diseases as the only armed parties to its south.

Hezbollah has publicly refused to hand over its arsenal completely, but it created it separately.

“Those who claim disarmament at the local, global or Arab levels serve the Israeli project,” Qasim said.

He also said that the United States is requesting the removal of Hezbollah missiles and its drones because they “grabbed” Israel, accusing those who have special envoys Tom Park of calling for disarmament for Israel, not Lebanon’s security.

He added: “Israel will not be able to defeat us, and it will not be able to take a hostage of Lebanon.”

“Israeli aggression … must stop”

In early July, the barracks met Lebanese officials in Beirut to discuss A suggestion of disarmament. It will witness the complete disarmament of Hezbollah within four months in exchange for the withdrawal of the Israeli forces, which occupy several jobs in southern Lebanon, and stop Israeli air strikes that have so far killed thousands of Lebanese citizens.

Hezbollah has been under pressure in recent months inside Lebanon and from Washington to completely abandon its weapons.

In his speech, Qasim said he considered the ceasefire agreement to the “South Litani River exclusively” application.

“However, if some weapons are linked to the agreement, then I tell them,” Weapons are an internal Lebanese relationship that does not have what they do … with the Israeli enemy. “

According to the armistice deal, Israel was supposed to withdraw all its forces from Lebanon, but it kept it in five areas it sees as a strategy.

In reference to the ongoing Israeli attacks targeting different parts of Lebanon, Qasim said. “All political discourse in the country must be directed towards stopping the aggression, not towards handing weapons to Israel.”

A Lebanese official, who occurs, said, provided that his identity is not disclosed, that “the Lebanese authorities are currently under international and regional pressure, with demands to formally commit to the disarmament of Hezbollah at the cabinet meeting.”

Lebanon asked Israel to complete its withdrawal before Hezbollah was rejected by the United States, and it is a Lebanese source with the knowledge of the matter. He told Agence France -Presse.

The Prime Minister in Lebanon, Nour Salam, called for a meeting of the ministers for the next week to discuss “the extension of the state’s sovereignty over all its territory exclusively by its special forces.” The leaders who took office after the year of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah have promised the state’s monopoly to take up arms.

According to what was stated, the meeting also focused on “the ceasefire arrangements … which include ideas from the proposal of Ambassador Park regarding its implementation.”

Hezbollah insists that Israel should cut off its strikes and withdraw from the remaining positions it keeps in the south before discussing the future of its weapons.
