Rubio's Plan to Disarm Hezbollah Risks Lebanese Civil War

U.S. Senator Marco Rubio's proposal to use the Lebanese army to disarm Hezbollah could ignite a civil war in Lebanon, according to experts. The plan, aimed at preventing Israeli military action, faces significant structural and political hurdles, including the risk of unrest within the multi-confessional Lebanese army and broader societal divisions. The situation is further complicated by regional dynamics, including Shiite fears of existential threats and the rising influence of anti-Hezbollah political factions.
