Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam tells the Jordanian channel Al-Mamlaka that the government will not walk back its decision directing the country’s army to confiscate all of Hezbollah’s weapons by the end of 2025.
Hezbollah announced after the decision that it would act as if it did not exist, with the terror group’s leader Naim Qassem pledging to defy the ruling.
