The United States has put forward a plan to Lebanon to fully disarm Hezbollah by the end of the year, in a move aimed at easing tensions and bringing stability to the region, according to a copy of a Lebanese cabinet agenda reviewed by Reuters.
The plan, submitted by US President Donald Trump’s envoy to the region, Tom Barrack, and being discussed at a Lebanese cabinet meeting on Thursday, sets out the most detailed steps yet for disarming the Iran-backed Hezbollah group, which has rejected mounting calls to disarm since last year’s devastating war with Israel.
