Jerusalem: Israel has issued a sharp call to the Lebanese government to honour its long-standing commitment to disarm Hezbollah, warning that continued inaction threatens the fragile calm along the Israel Lebanon frontier. The statement from Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz comes amid renewed border incidents and persistent doubts over Beirut’s control of its southern territory.

In a statement released Sunday, Defense Minister Katz said Lebanon must “uphold its promise” under the terms of the November 2024 ceasefire, which ended a deadly escalation between Israel and Hezbollah. The truce, brokered by the United States and supported by France and the United Nations, required that only Lebanese state security forces be armed and operational in the southern border areas.
