What happened

Lebanon’s government failed to disarm Hezbollah by the end of 2025, as it promised, so, Israel remains in the buffer zone and continues to act on its own, adviser in the Israeli prime minister’s office Dmitri Gendelman said.

Why it matters

Back in 2925, the Lebanese government committed itself to disarm Hezbollah by the end of that year, but failed to do that.

Common ground

That is why Israel remains in the security zone to dismantle this infrastructure [of terror] on its own," he told TASS, commenting on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s statements at a weekly government meeting.
