Mahmoud Qamati, the deputy head of Hezbollah's political council, reiterated on Sunday that the organization will not disarm, claiming that both Israel and the United States have failed in their efforts to strip Hezbollah of its weapons. Qamati's statement, carried by Al-Manar, comes as part of a sustained refusal by the group to comply with international calls — including from Washington and the Lebanese government — to hand over its arsenal to the Lebanese state. The Zioneer reported on Saturday that Qamati had already made a similar declaration, vowing no disarmament and asserting that the 'resistance' was aware of new plans against it. This latest affirmation underscores Hezbollah's entrenched position amid ongoing diplomatic pressure and escalating tensions along the Israel-Lebanon border.
