A controversial draft UN Security Council resolution has sparked debate in Lebanon, with critics accusing it of serving Israeli interests. The resolution proposes a ceasefire, border demarcation, disarmament of Hezbollah, and major political changes in Lebanon, including new elections and a neutral government, amid Israel’s ongoing assault on the country.
Supporting various international resolutions, the draft aims to establish a long-term ceasefire, strengthen Lebanon’s sovereignty, and address the political crisis. However, critics argue it undermines Lebanese sovereignty and serves Israel’s agenda.
Diplomatic efforts are underway, with Lebanon supporting a ceasefire initiative, while Hezbollah refuses to negotiate until the aggression stops. The draft, if implemented, could lead to violence and internal crisis, according to experts.
As consultations continue, the implementation of Resolution 1559 remains a priority, emphasizing Lebanon’s sovereignty and the disarmament of all militias, including Hezbollah.
The situation remains tense, with conflicting interests at play, risking further escalation and instability in the region.
