Lebanon Minister Backs Hezbollah Disarmament but Says Process Must Be Gradual
Lebanon's social affairs minister Haneen Sayed has backed calls for Hezbollah's disarmament, telling a Washington discussion that it must happen but requires a political settlement and cannot be instant. The comments follow a three-week extension of the Lebanon-Israel ceasefire, which has been marred by deadly violations. Sayed acknowledged Hezbollah is also a community, making implementation difficult.
