International pressure on Lebanon to enforce Hezbollah’s disarmament has intensified amid stalled trilateral talks with Israel and the US, where sequencing disputes persist—Israel conditions any withdrawal on verified weapons handover, while Hezbollah insists on prior Israeli pullback from southern zones. Recent Lebanese government steps include approving an army plan granting at least four months for the next disarmament phase north of the Litani River, yet Hezbollah ministers walked out of cabinet sessions protesting the timeline and US proposals, and the group continues rebuilding capabilities including upgraded drones. US and EU statements tie reconstruction aid and stability to state monopoly on arms, with warnings of potential Israeli escalation if progress stalls before upcoming elections. These dynamics reflect ongoing deadlock between Lebanese institutional commitments and Hezbollah’s resistance.
