Smotrich: We won't withdraw from Lebanon and destroyed villages won't be rebuilt
by Naharnet Newsdesk 30 July 2025, 18:35 Extremist Israeli finance minister Bezalel Smotrich said Wednesday that the Israeli army will not withdraw from the five points that it occupied in south Lebanon. 'The villages destroyed by the Israeli army in south Lebanon will not be rebuilt,' Smotrich added, in remarks at the settlement of Kiryat Shmona near Lebanon's border. 'The North's residents will no longer see Hezbollah on the border fence,' Smotrich said. 'There is a big possibility that Hezbollah's arms have truly been destroyed and (Iranian supreme leader Ali) Khamenei has abandoned it,' the Israeli minister added.

Aoun to deliver key speech on Army Day
by Naharnet Newsdesk 30 July 2025, 16:49 President Joseph Aoun will deliver Thursday a key speech marking Army Day that will tackle the thorny issue of Hezbollah's disarmament, media reports said. MTV reported that Aoun's address will resemble an 'update' of his inaugural oath speech. The president 'will speak with total clarity' and 'will for the first time reveal to the Lebanese public opinion the content of the Lebanese paper that was delivered to U.S. envoy Tom Barrack and what it included of major gains for Lebanon and guarantees for the South and its people,' MTV said. 'He will also mention the threats that Lebanon will face if the Lebanese do not unanimously agree to the implementation of what they had committed themselves to, days before raising the issue of illegitimate arms for the first time around Cabinet's table,' the TV network added.

Incoming US ambassador to Lebanon says Hezbollah needs to be disarmed
by Naharnet Newsdesk 30 July 2025, 16:09 U.S. ambassador to Lebanon nominee Michel Issa, who is of Lebanese origins, has appeared before the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee in a hearing on pending nominations. 'They know that if they don't disarm, there is something that's gonna happen. I don't know what's gonna happen, but something needs to happen,' Issa said about Hezbollah. Noting that the Lebanese government would soon meet to discuss the issue of Hezbollah's disarmament, Issa added: 'Maybe that would create some pressure and hopefully it will solve the situation, but Hezbollah needs to go, Hezbollah needs to be disarmed, to bring some kind of hope to Lebanon.'
