Hezbollah on Wednesday sharply criticized the Lebanese government’s decision to begin a process aiming to disarm the Iran-backed group this year, saying it “fully achieves” neighboring Israel’s interests.
Hezbollah also said in a statement it is ready for a dialogue over its weapons, adding that the Lebanese government should work on “liberating” areas in the country's south still occupied by Israel following a 14-month war with Hezbollah and freeing Lebanese who are still held there.
