Hezbollah refuses to disarm, insist on Israel’s withdrawal

Hezbollah refuses from negotiating disarming amid the continuing Israeli attacks and insists on Israel withdrawing its occupational forces, a senior Hezbollah official said.

"Hezbollah refuses from dialogue on disarming its units in a situation when Israeli attacks continue and five hills near the border are still occupied," Deputy Chairman of Hezbollah's Political Council Mahmoud Komati said as quoted by the Naharnet news portal.

He condemned the United States for pushing Israel toward continuing attacks on Lebanon.

"Before raising the issue of disarmament, Israel must withdraw its troops from the border areas and implement the November 27, 2024 ceasefire agreement, which among other things envisages the release of captured soldiers," he said.
