Hezbollah rejects Beirut’s call to disarm as ‘major mistake’

The Times of Israel reports: “Hezbollah on Wednesday dismissed the Lebanese government’s announcement of plans seeking to disarm the terror group by the end of 2025, calling it a ‘major mistake’ that harms the country’s sovereignty.

In a statement, the Iran-backed organization said in its response to Tuesday’s announcement that the move was a result of US ‘diktats’ and that it will treat the decision ‘as if it does not exist.’

‘This decision fully serves Israel’s interest,’ the group said.

The statement said Shiite ministers walked out of the cabinet session before the decision was reached as ‘an expression of the resistance’s (Hezbollah’s) rejection of this decision.’…”
