Israel comes out in support of Lebanese government in its decision to disarm Hizballah
By Jihad Watch
Several days ago, Hizballah threatened civil war after the Lebanese government’s decision to disarm it, calling the government “treasonous” and saying that it “must fall.” I stated that it was obvious that the Lebanese government would put up a fierce fight, and that Israel would side with Lebanon against Hizballah, should it indeed rise again. Now, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has come out in support of the Lebanese government (courtesy: Israel Government Press Office):
Israel acknowledges the significant step taken by the Lebanese Government, under the leadership of President Aoun and Prime Minister Salam. The recent decision by the Council of Ministers to work towards the disarmament of Hezbollah by the end of 2025 was a momentous decision. It marks a crucial opportunity for Lebanon to reclaim its sovereignty and restore the authority of its state institutions, military, and governance — free from the influence of non-state actors.
In light of this important development, Israel stands ready to support Lebanon in its efforts to disarm Hezbollah and to work together towards a more secure and stable future for both nations. If the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) take the necessary steps to implement the disarmament of Hezbollah, Israel will engage in reciprocal measures, including a phased reduction of IDF presence in coordination with the US-led security mechanism.
Now is the time for both Israel and Lebanon to move forward in a spirit of cooperation, focusing on the shared objective of disarming Hezbollah and promoting the stability and prosperity of both nations.
