The Lebanese government has approved the objectives of a United States-backed plan to disarm Hezbollah, a move that prompted Hezbollah ministers and their allies to walk out of the cabinet meeting in protest. The plan, which lays out a phased approach to disarmament by the end of 2025, also includes provisions for Israel's withdrawal from Lebanese territory, the cessation of hostilities, and the establishment of permanent borders. Lebanese officials say the army will submit a detailed plan for disarmament by August, but Hezbollah has vowed to ignore the decision, calling it a 'grave sin' and a threat to Lebanon's sovereignty. The proposal, hailed as 'historic' by United States officials, comes amid ongoing tensions and frequent Israeli strikes in Lebanon, with both sides accusing each other of violating a fragile ceasefire.
