Exposure to Israeli intelligence may have prompted Hezbollah's reported disarmament overture
As calls for Lebanon’s Hezbollah to disarm gain momentum, a senior Hezbollah official has told Reuters the group is ready to hold talks with the Lebanese president about its weapons if Israel withdraws from south Lebanon. Filippo Dionigi, a senior lecturer in international relations at Bristol University, says that Hezbollah’s new stance may have been prompted by the fact that it is still highly exposed to Israeli intelligence and Israeli attacks.
