💨 Abstract
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun demanded Hezbollah disarm while presenting a draft proposal for peace, including Israeli withdrawal and release of prisoners. Hezbollah leader Naim Kassem had defied calls to surrender arms, asserting they strengthen Lebanon. The U.S. pushes Lebanon to disarm Hezbollah as proposed peace deal specifics remain unclear. Both sides dispute the ceasefire's scope on Hezbollah's remaining arsenal and military sites. Israel continues strikes and border occupations despite the ceasefire.
