Lebanese officials cited by UK-based Arabic newspaper Asharq al-Awsat say Hezbollah has received “last-chance advice” from Egypt, Qatar and Turkey to hand over its weapons to Lebanon’s government.
According to the sources, the countries warned Hezbollah that failing to do so could isolate Lebanon politically and economically, and lead to a war with Israel that would deepen anti-Hezbollah sentiment within Lebanon.
Beirut had been under heavy US pressure to disarm Hezbollah south of the Litani River — located about 30 kilometers (19 miles) from the border with Israel — by the end of 2025.
