The day of Israel's Hezbollah disarmament condition

The day's media attention centered on intensified US diplomatic engagement and Israel's conditional proposals for Lebanon. Following previous days' focus on envoy Barrack's efforts, reports detailed Israel's statement, delivered by Netanyahu, on a conditional withdrawal from five disputed points contingent on Lebanese security forces disarming Hezbollah. This development was framed as a new test for US mediation, further underscored by US envoy Ortagus's arrival in Beirut and comments on Netanyahu's position. Concurrently, discussions continued regarding the Security Council's imminent vote on UNIFIL's mandate, with questions emerging about a potential one-year renewal. Internally, a significant development was Amal and Hezbollah's announcement of postponing a scheduled protest, citing civil peace. However, Hezbollah's Sheikh Qassem firmly rejected any disarmament, asserting their weaponry is integral.
