from Hindustan Times Podcast · host HT Smartcast
Can Lebanon really disarm Hezbollah?For the first time in decades, Beirut has asked its army to draw up a plan that could dismantle the country’s most powerful armed group. The demand comes under growing pressure from the U.S., in a deal that offers Lebanon a billion dollars a year in exchange for doing what no state has achieved to do: take on Hezbollah. But how did this moment come to be? Why is the U.S. pushing this now? And what does Israel stand to gain if the plan succeeds? This episode of Grey Zone investigates the origin of Hezbollah’s rise, how the war in Gaza triggered a cross-border front, and why disarmament could tip Lebanon into deeper instability.
