UK, Italy among states considered to verify Hezbollah disarmament, sources say
The countries could help define the mechanism's scope, provide personnel to oversee its implementation, or contribute troops to observe or take part in inspections verifying disarmament, sources said
Assessment
: The reported consideration of UK and Italian involvement signals a potential shift toward broader international oversight of Hezbollah's disarmament. How these countries might define the mechanism's scope or contribute personnel carries implications for regional security dynamics and Lebanon's internal balance of power. The next development to watch is whether these talks materialize into formal agreements.
