Challenges of disarming Hezbollah and ensuring stability in Lebanon: Analysis
Update: 2025-01-11
Description
Hassan Mneimneh, a political analyst and researcher at the Middle East Institute, joins Al Jazeera's live from Washington, DC. He discusses the Lebanese president's pledge to ensure only the army can carry arms, raising critical questions about disarming Hezbollah. Mneimneh highlights that Joseph Aoun, with his army background, is uniquely positioned to carry out this task. However, he warns of the risks of leaving Hezbollah fighters without a proper transition plan, drawing parallels to the US disbandment of the Iraqi army, which led to further instability. He emphasizes the importance of offering a ‘soft landing’ to avoid repeating past mistakes and preventing the regrouping of ex-Hezbollah fighters into new entities.
