Hezbollah has firmly rejected calls from the Lebanese government and international actors, including the US, to surrender its weapons, even as part of a broader peace deal with Israel. The group's refusal comes amid US diplomatic efforts to broker a ceasefire and push for state monopoly over arms in Lebanon. Lebanese leaders, including President Joseph Aoun and Speaker Nabih Berri, are under pressure to implement arms restrictions, but Hezbollah's stance has stalled progress. The US envoy has stated that Washington cannot force Israel to comply with any agreement, further complicating the situation. This deadlock raises concerns about Lebanon's stability and the prospects for lasting peace along its southern border.
