Lebanon has announced a delay in implementing arms restrictions, citing growing concern over the recent developments in Syria.

This decision comes despite Lebanon's commitment to disarming non-state militias, including Hezbollah.

US Special Envoy Tom Barrack emphasized that the issue of Hezbollah's disarmament remains a domestic Lebanese matter during his meeting with Lebanese officials in Beirut.

Barrack called on the Syrian government to take responsibility for the recent violence in Sweida and expressed disappointment over the lack of progress in achieving regional stability.

He stated that the US cannot compel Israel to take specific actions regarding guarantees, instead focusing on using its influence to help reach a favorable outcome.

Barrack also reiterated that sanctions against Lebanese officials are not currently under consideration.

The delay in implementing arms restrictions stems from Lebanon's concern over the recent developments in Syria and its borders.

Lebanon is demanding a halt to the entry of Syrians into its territory, including refugees and potential militants.

Barrack emphasized President Donald Trump's interest in achieving regional stability and stressed that Beirut remains at the center of the process.

Efforts are being made to focus on restoring stability to Lebanon and addressing the issues occurring simultaneously.

The US is working alongside Lebanese leaders to bring hope and economic reforms to the region.

However, there have been failures in previous cessation of hostilities agreements, which have led to disappointment from the US side.

The ultimate goal is to achieve prosperity and peace for future generations.

Hezbollah Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem warned against the potential division of Lebanon between Israel and Syria, stating that armed groups in Syria may launch attacks on eastern Lebanon.

He emphasized that all sects in Lebanon are under threat and expressed willingness to discuss defense and national security strategies once the danger is removed.
