US envoy: Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon 'next step' as Beirut agrees to disarm Hezbollah

US envoy Tom Barrack has urged Israel to fulfill its commitments under a ceasefire agreement with Lebanon, following Beirut's move to begin disarming Hezbollah. The Lebanese government has tasked its army with developing a plan to disarm the group by the end of the year, marking a significant step in the country's efforts to restore state control over all weapons. Barrack emphasized that Israel's full withdrawal from Lebanese territory is the 'next step' and highlighted the need for an economic plan to help Lebanon recover from its ongoing crises. The US is currently in discussions with Israel, with expectations of progress in the coming weeks, while the Lebanese cabinet has endorsed a US proposal outlining objectives for peace and disarmament.
