A few days before US Special Envoy Tom Barrack’s visit to Lebanon on Monday, Hezbollah organized mass demonstrations in Beirut’s southern suburbs, giving its answer to the American request for the group’s disarmament. Hezbollah stated clearly: it will not disarm. Thousands of its members took to the streets chanting slogans such as “the resistance will not kneel,” “no to American dictates,” and “weapons protect the homeland.” This show of force diverges from the written answer given to Barrack by President Joseph Aoun, which the former described as “something spectacular,” adding he was “unbelievably satisfied” with it.
