US envoy to Lebanon: 'All armed militias must be disarmed'

|
U.S. Special Envoy for Syria and Lebanon Thomas Burke was interviewed by Lebanese network LBCI and addressed the issue of disarming Hezbollah. "We are not asking for anything, we only said one thing - 'If you want our help, we are here to help,'" he said. "If you don't want it, we will return to our country." Burke added that "Hezbollah's problem is a Lebanese issue, not a global one. The goal is not just the organization's weapons, but also the weapons of the Palestinians and armed militias. President Trump has courage and focus, but he lacks patience."
