Hezbollah Leader Rejects Disarmament Despite Lebanon's Claim of Completion

A top Hezbollah leader rejected disarmament and demanded Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon in a rare April 2026 interview. Lebanon declared Hezbollah's disarmament process completed in December 2025 after the army confiscated some weapons. Israel and the U.S. remain skeptical of Beirut's willingness and ability to disarm the group. The contradiction between Lebanon's declaration and Hezbollah's stance underscores the central obstacle to the Israel-Lebanon diplomatic track.
