JAKARTA - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has pledged to withdraw his military from Lebanon if Hezbollah agrees to disarm by the end of 2025.
According to AP, on Monday, August 25, Netanyahu considered the Lebanese government's decision to pursue Hezbollah's disarmament crucial.
This is likely to be met with retaliatory measures, including a gradual reduction of Israel's military presence in southern Lebanon.
Since the Israel-Hezbollah war ended with a US-brokered ceasefire in November 2025, Hezbollah has said it will not discuss disarmament until Israel withdraws from five hills it controls in Lebanon.
Hezbollah also said the agreement would only be reached if Israel's near-daily airstrikes on Lebanon, which kill hundreds of people, were halted first.
The current Lebanese government is under US pressure to push for the disarmament of Hezbollah members.
The effort was seen as a result of the continued weakening of Lebanon and Hezbollah following the 14-month war with Israel, which resulted in the deaths of many Lebanese and Hezbollah political and military leaders.
