Lebanese President Joseph Aoun has outlined a set of conditions he says must be met before Hezbollah can be disarmed. According to his position, the process would depend on Israeli troops leaving, the Lebanese army taking full control on the ground and the launch of a reconstruction program led by the state.
The remarks frame Hezbollah’s weapons issue as part of a broader political and security equation rather than a standalone decision. Aoun’s comments suggest that any move toward disarmament would be tied to changes in the military situation as well as stronger state authority inside Lebanon.
His approach also links security arrangements to rebuilding efforts, indicating that reconstruction is seen as an essential part of stabilizing the country. By emphasizing a government-run program, the Lebanese presidency appears to be placing state institutions at the center of both recovery and future security management.
The statement highlights how sensitive the Hezbollah disarmament question remains in Lebanon. It also underlines the connection between regional tensions, domestic control by the Lebanese army and the political conditions that Beirut considers necessary before any such step can move forward.
