Lebanon mulls phased disarmament amid 'difficult' debate within Hezbollah
by Naharnet Newsdesk 7 hours Lebanese officials are racing against time to reach 'acceptable formats' for a Lebanese paper responding to a U.S. proposal calling for an end to Israel's attacks and the withdrawal of its forces in return for Hezbollah's disarmament, a media report said. 'Hezbollah has partially opened the door to discussions over this topic, which had been a taboo in the past, without giving clear answers on whether or not it accepts the principle,' Lebanese sources informed on the ongoing deliberations told Asharq al-Awsat newspaper. 'Hezbollah is engaged in a difficult internal debate over the issue, in parallel with another debate within a panel comprising representatives of President Joseph Aoun, Speaker Nabih Berri and PM Nawaf Salam, which is tasked with devising the Lebanese response paper,' the sources added. Revealing that the panel's discussions are seeking 'acceptable formats that comply with the constitution,' the sources added that 'the Lebanese response to the proposal is focused on specifying the priorities and phases according to which the agreement will be implemented, seeing as Israel has not committed to the ceasefire decision until the moment, despite Hezbollah's compliance and its withdrawal from the South Litani area.' The sources added that in its 'preliminary response,' Hezbollah has demanded 'real guarantees' in order to implement ant solution that might be reached. Official Lebanese sources meanwhile revealed to Asharq al-Awsat that 'Lebanon is readying a technical response prepared by the Lebanese Army to explain the step-by-step mechanism and what can be achieved if Israel carries out positive steps, such as withdrawal, ending airstrikes and releasing the captives.' Political leaders are meanwhile seeking 'guarantees that would pave the way for a gradual disarmament that would begin with heavy-caliber weapons and end with medium-caliber weapons,' the sources said.

In an interview with An-Nahar newspaper, Salam said he has stressed to U.S. envoy Tom Barrack and his administration the need to 'obtain real guarantees that truly lead to Israel's withdrawal from the occupied territory and halting its attacks and violations of Lebanon's sovereignty in a permanent manner.' The premier also emphasized the need to rebuild the destroyed towns in south Lebanon, speaking of an 'open understanding' with Berri and Aoun. He added that 'reaching a unified Lebanese response and presenting it to Barrack is in the country's interest,' describing the current atmosphere as 'acceptable.' Speaking at an economic meeting later on Wednesday, Salam said: "We are intensifying pressures to implement Resolution 1701 and the state is continuing its efforts to extend its authority across its territory, in order to monopolize weapons, curb smuggling, and boost safety at the airport."

Hezbollah reportedly preparing its own response to US paper
Hezbollah is waiting to receive a copy of the Lebanese paper that is being prepared by President Joseph Aoun, Speaker Nabih Berri and PM Nawaf Salam in response to the paper submitted by U.S. envoy Tom Barrack, informed political sources said. The Lebanese response will consider the current government's Ministerial Statement as 'a Lebanese acknowledgment of the monopolization of arms in the hands of the state' and will demand that Israel stop its strikes and release the Lebanese captives, the sources told ad-Diyar newspaper. The sources also revealed that a panel formed by Hezbollah is about to finalize its own 'paper,' which will be 'more than mere remarks or amendments, but rather a complete paper detailing Hezbollah's stance on the points mentioned in the U.S. paper.' Hezbollah's stance 'will stress that Lebanon has committed and implemented what it had pledged to do' and will 'reject any attempts aimed at passing a new agreement that replaces the November 27 agreement,' the sources added.
