Netanyahu Ready to Support Disarmament of Hezbollah by Lebanese Government
Israel Supports for Hezbollah Disarmament: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signaled that Israel was ready to scale back its military presence in Lebanon if the Lebanese government followed through with its promise to disarm the Iran-backed Hezbollah terrorist group. “Israel stands ready to support Lebanon in its efforts to disarm Hezbollah and to work together towards a more secure and stable future for both nations,” Netanyahu stated. “If the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) take the necessary steps to implement the disarmament of Hezbollah, Israel will engage in reciprocal measures, including a phased reduction of IDF presence in coordination with the U.S.-led security mechanism.”
