The disarmament of the Hezbollah group has been identified as the main criterion for the effectiveness of the security agreement between Israel and Lebanon. This US-backed initiative is aimed at stabilizing the situation in the region and preventing further conflicts.
Mawan Abdallah, Head of Foreign Affairs of the Kataeb party, emphasized the need for international participation to ensure the mechanism works.
You need a third party, and I think the US military is a partner to the Lebanese armed forces and, of course, a partner to the Israelis.
Under the US-brokered agreement, the Lebanese armed forces have already begun taking up new positions. Specifically, on July 26, 2026, Lebanese army officers deployed positions in the village of Zawtar al-Gharbiya in southern Lebanon. This is one of three pilot zones entered by Lebanese troops following the withdrawal of Israeli forces.
