Lebanese officials are preparing a formal response to recent demands from the United States that Hezbollah disarm across Lebanon by November. The U.S. has linked this demand to a proposed halt of Israeli military operations and the withdrawal of Israeli troops from southern Lebanon. The American envoy presented a roadmap stipulating that Hezbollah must relinquish its weapons nationwide as a precondition for Israel's troop withdrawal. Lebanon's parliament speaker, Nabih Berri, is involved in navigating the ongoing discussions amid pressure from foreign envoys calling for extensive changes within the country. The Lebanese government is expected to deliver its official reply to the U.S. demands by Monday.
