This marks the first time the US has explicitly demanded a formal cabinet-level decision to disarm Hezbollah, rather than accepting diplomatic assurances. The requirement for an official government decree directly challenges Hezbollah's decades-long status as a state-within-a-state and represents an unprecedented attempt to force Lebanon's government to publicly confront Hezbollah's religious-military authority.

📰 What Happened
The US is demanding Lebanon's cabinet issue a formal decision to disarm Hezbollah before continuing peace negotiations. US envoy Thomas Barrack will suspend visits to Beirut until this condition is met. The six-week talks aimed to end Israeli military operations in exchange for Hezbollah's disarmament. While Hezbollah publicly refuses full disarmament, sources indicate private willingness to reduce their arsenal. The group insists Israel must first withdraw troops and stop drone strikes.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The US demand for Lebanon's cabinet to formally disarm Hezbollah reveals a critical prophetic pattern of false religious-political systems being challenged. Hezbollah's dual identity as both a militant force and religious authority mirrors Revelation 13's warning of powers that combine religious and military control. The group's private willingness to 'scale back' while publicly maintaining hardline positions exemplifies 2 Thessalonians 2:9-10's warning about deceptive practices. The requirement for a formal cabinet decision forces Lebanon to choose between state sovereignty and religious-militant authority, foreshadowing the eventual forced choices described in Revelation 13:16-17.
