#BREAKING | U.S. Intensifies Pressure on Lebanon to Disarm Hezbollah

The U.S. is demanding Lebanon’s cabinet issue an immediate formal decision to disarm Hezbollah before talks can resume to halt Israel’s military operations, sources tell Reuters. Without a public commitment, U.S. envoy Thomas Barrack will cease negotiations in Beirut, and Washington will not pressure Israel to stop airstrikes or withdraw troops from southern Lebanon. Hezbollah, labeled a terrorist group by the U.S., insists Israel must first end its strikes and pull out. Lebanese PM Nawaf Salam plans a cabinet session soon, as fears grow of escalated Israeli strikes if no action is taken.
