Hezbollah chief accuses Israel of ignoring ceasefire agreement

BEIRUT: Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem on Sunday said moves to disarm the group in Lebanon are an “Israeli-American plan,” accusing Israel of failing to abide by a ceasefire agreement sealed last year. Under heavy US pressure and fears of expanded Israeli strikes, the Lebanese military is expected to complete Hezbollah’s disarmament south of the Litani River — located about 30 kilometers (19 miles) from the border with Israel — by the end of the year. It will then tackle disarming the Iran-backed movement in the rest of the country. “Disarmament is an Israeli-American plan,” Qassem said.
