Disarming Hezbollah while Israeli violations continue daily strips Lebanon of its only effective deterrent against ongoing aggression. The government's capitulation to American demands serves Israeli interests by leaving the country defenseless against an occupying force that refuses to withdraw from Lebanese territory. This betrayal abandons national resistance in favor of foreign diktat.
