❝ Members of the US Congress have urged Lebanon’s leaders to quickly disarm Hezbollah – even if this had to be done by force – or risk facing another Israeli war.
Dated 3 December and signed by eight congressmembers, including Republicans and Democrats, a purported copy of the letter was widely shared online on Friday and reported by Lebanese media outlets.
It comes as part of increased US pressure on Beirut to disarm the Iran-backed Hezbollah group after last year’s devastating war with Israel and a US-brokered ceasefire. ❞
