The United States has urged Lebanon to take concrete action toward disarming Hezbollah, emphasizing that the issue is about action rather than words. This call has intensified tensions within Lebanon, with the US envoy Tom Brake canceling a planned visit to several southern Lebanese towns amid popular protests against his presence. Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri expressed frustration with the recent US delegation visit, stating that the Americans failed to deliver on their promises and brought no progress from Israel, resulting in a more complicated situation. Political figures in Lebanon are responding strongly; several MPs and political personalities have filed a criminal complaint against Hezbollah's Deputy Secretary-General Naim Qassem over statements perceived as threatening civil war. The political ally of Hezbollah's leadership criticized the US delegation's demands as a breach of the November 2024 agreement sponsored by the US and France and condemned efforts to involve the Lebanese army against its own citizens. He also accused the Lebanese Prime Minister of misrepresenting the Taif Agreement and called on the Lebanese President to end what he described as the government's political submissiveness. The Lebanese Justice Minister, Adil Nassar, also addressed concerns about the potential for renewed civil conflict in the country.
