US Envoy Intervenes in Lebanon’s Internal Affairs and Hezbollah’s Arms
According to the English section of webangah News agency, citing Mehr News agency via Russia Al-Youm, Tom Barrett, the U.S. Special Envoy to Syria, addressed the issue of the resistance’s weapons and those of Lebanon’s Hezbollah. He stated that the American president’s patience on this matter is limited.
Barrett added that if Lebanon’s government and parliament reach an agreement with Hezbollah on disarming heavy weapons used by the resistance, it would be a positive progress. He emphasized that arms capable of targeting Israel must be relinquished.
He further warned about a potential civil war in Lebanon if these issues are not resolved.
Barrett had previously conditioned Israel’s withdrawal from occupied Lebanese territories on Hezbollah disarming its weapons.
