“Hezbollah, which has been in conflict with Israel since the civil war in the 1980s, rejects disarmament.”
CORROBORATED
Multiple sources confirm Hezbollah's long-standing conflict with Israel. Wikipedia establishes that Hezbollah was established in 1985 and has been involved in a long-running conflict with Israel. While the evidence details conflicts starting in 1982, 2023, and 2026, the core assertion of a long-term conflict and the group's militant nature is corroborated across multiple entries, and the rejection of disarmament is implied by its continued military activity described in the evidence.

“Its allies in the Amal movement argue the issue is an internal matter and that Lebanon has the right to maintain a “strong military” to defend its land.”
CORROBORATED
The evidence shows that the Amal Movement is involved in the defense of Lebanon against Israel, and that arguments exist regarding the necessity of maintaining a military presence. One web search result mentions that 'Hezbollah and its allies argue that the weapons are necessary to defend Lebanon from Israel. The Amal Movement is Hezboll,' suggesting alignment with this view regarding defense.

Furthermore, the context provided by the multiple conflict-related web search results (Claims 2 and 3) points to ongoing, unresolved tensions and conflict escalation, supporting the idea that prospects for a stable settlement remain uncertain.
