Bold move, but...

I hope this actually leads to peace and not more internal strife. Can the Lebanese army really disarm Hezbollah without sparking a civil conflict?

Lebanon president tells US commander will exert sovereignty over all country’s territory

BEIRUT: Lebanon’s President Joseph Aoun on Monday told the head of US forces in the Middle East that Beirut intended to assert its sovereignty over the entire country, with the army deployed right up to the Israeli border. Aoun met Admiral Brad Cooper, the head of US Central Command, to discuss the Washington-brokered agreement signed last week by Israel and Lebanon aimed at a peace deal. Cooper also met Lebanon’s army chief Rodolphe Haykal, with the discussions addressing “the latest developments in Lebanon and the region,” the army said in a statement.

Hezbollah is the only real defense against Israel. Disarming them now is foolish.

If the army tries to take their weapons by force, it's civil war for sure. Sad times.

Peace is a dream, but let's be real-this will ignite tensions, not calm them.

Bro, Hezbollah has deep roots. Disarming them won't be smooth at all.
