U.S. Special Envoy Thomas Barrack said Monday that it is now Israel's turn to comply with the cease-fire agreement reached last November to end the war with Hezbollah.

Hezbollah’s Shura Council has since instructed its leadership to avoid mobilising on the streets, warning that protests could quickly spiral into uncontrollable incidents. Hezbollah denounced the government’s move as a “grave sin” that strips Lebanon “of the weapon of resistance” against Israel and vowed to disregard it.

The US envoy to Lebanon said Washington will negotiate a ceasefire with Israel after Beirut backed a US plan for Hezbollah’s disarmament. Hezbollah vowed defiance, raising fears of renewed instability amid Lebanon’s ongoing crisis.
