Hezbollah MP says issue of disarmament is internal Lebanese matter

Nurit Yohanan is The Times of Israel's Palestinian and Arab world correspondent

Ihab Hamadeh, a Lebanese MP for Hezbollah, responds to a Reuters report quoting an unnamed Hezbollah official who claimed that the terror group would agree to disarm if Israel withdrew from Lebanon.

Hamadeh tells Qatar’s Al-Araby TV that Hezbollah does not have unnamed “sources,” and when it has something to say, it says it in an official capacity.

He adds that the issue of Hezbollah’s weapons is an internal Lebanese matter and will be discussed within the framework of Lebanon’s national policy, with no relation to any external party.
