Despite years of political pressure, military attacks, diplomatic threats, and psychological warfare, the project to disarm Hezbollah remains deadlocked. Neither governments have been able to advance the plan, nor have external pressures been able to tip the balance, a fact that has even been reflected in the confessions of Israeli security officials.
According to Ashura News, citing Fars News Agency: Tamir Haiman, the former head of the Israeli military intelligence agency Aman and the current head of the regime's Institute for Security Studies (INSS), focuses on the issue of "Hezbollah's disarmament" under the title "Lebanon's riddle" in an article published by the Hebrew-language website N12. The riddle is actually another name for the inability of Israel and its supporters to disarm Hezbollah. The real gap: America talks, Hezbollah acts Despite the escalation of the Israeli army's attacks on Lebanon and the mass of political and security pressures, the reality on the ground has not changed. What is happening in Lebanon is not "progress in disarmament", but the continuation of the balance that Hezbollah has shaped and maintained over the years. The author admits that any direct confrontation with Hezbollah is costly and crippling for the Lebanese political structure due to the real risk of civil war. This fact itself is clear evidence of the party’s established position in Lebanon’s internal equations: despite external pressures and some declared positions at home, no Lebanese government has been able to—and will never be able to—take the project of disarming Hezbollah beyond the level of a slogan.
Much talk; no action Although some Lebanese officials have made statements about “disarming” Hezbollah, the reality on the ground is something else. There is neither an official and approved plan, nor the political and social capacity to implement it. Any attempt to draw the Lebanese army into confrontation with Hezbollah is considered a dangerous red line, because Lebanon’s historical experience has shown that Hezbollah is not a marginal group, but a deeply rooted part of the country’s security and social fabric. Israeli attacks; admission of strategic inability In the rest of his article, the author unintentionally acknowledges a key fact: Israeli military and air strikes alone are unable to stop the reconstruction and strengthening of Hezbollah. This admission is, in fact, confirmation of Israel’s strategic failure; Because the party, contrary to Tel Aviv’s perception, is not simply a “military threat,” but a deep-rooted project with social, financial, and organizational support. From the perspective of the resistance axis, each period of pressure and conflict has not been the end of Hezbollah, but the beginning of a new phase of reconstruction and adaptation. The existence of forces, the reconstruction of infrastructure, and the maintenance of organizational cohesion show that Hezbollah has neither collapsed nor retreated from its role. America; The American policy of words without action—especially in Trump’s narrative—is based on the illusion that the realities of Lebanon can be changed with a few political stances and diplomatic pressure. But as experience has shown, America “talks” and “maneuveres” more than “acts.” In contrast, the Hezbollah axis has quietly and consistently acted and continues to act.
The dissolution of UNIFIL, the direct US intervention without a field presence, and the reliance on political statements are all signs of the deep gap between Washington’s will and the reality on the ground. Conclusion: Hezbollah’s weapons remain and will remain Despite all the pressure—from military strikes to diplomatic threats, sanctions, and psychological warfare—the project to disarm Hezbollah has failed to date. Neither the Lebanese government has the capacity to implement it, nor is the Lebanese army willing to engage in a confrontation that would endanger the country’s existence, nor is Israel capable of imposing a military solution. What the author refers to as the “Lebanese lie” is in fact an attempt to hide a clear truth: Hezbollah, as a deterrent and effective force, remains a decisive part of the Lebanese equation, and all efforts to seize its weapons have so far failed, despite all the pressure.
