Hezbollah has reportedly withdrawn from south of the Litani River, meeting a key Israeli demand as part of the 2024 ceasefire. However, critics argue this concession to Israel is insufficient, emphasizing that Hezbollah continues to resist disarmament and refuses to yield to the Lebanese state and its people. The article contends that Hezbollah's actions reveal its self-interest and role as a regional proxy, rather than a true protector of Lebanon, and highlights its history of violence against domestic opponents and involvement in regional conflicts. The author calls for the full disarmament of Hezbollah and the strengthening of Lebanese state institutions, asserting that only by ending the influence of non-state military actors can Lebanon achieve sovereignty, stability, and a future free from corruption and conflict.
