Hezbollah's Existential Crisis: Lebanon's effort to disarm the resistance and the future of the P...

It has been annus horribilis for Hezbollah. They were struck by a deadly pager attack, Israel launched a devastating air and ground campaign against the group, and their long-time leader was killed in an Israeli airstrike. The war left Hezbollah battered and broken, and now, the Lebanese government is moving in to clear up the arms, which is taking place under the shadow of continued Israeli airstrikes. At the start of September, the Lebanese army presented its plan to disarm Hezbollah once and for all to the cabinet. While welcomed by much of the cabinet, Hezbollah rejected the notion. This week on The New Arab Voice we examine the state of Hezbollah today. How are the Lebanese state disarming the group? And what is the future of the self-styled resistance movement in Lebanon? We're joined by David Wood, Senior Analyst for Lebanon at International Crisis Group (@CrisisGroup (https://x.com/crisisgroup) ); and Paul Salem, senior fellow at the Middle East Institute (@MiddleEastInst (https://x.com/MiddleEastInst) ).
