Lebanon's Deputy Prime Minister, Tarek Mitri, has called for an immediate ceasefire in the ongoing conflict and urged the Lebanese military to seize control of all territories and Hezbollah's arms. During an interview with Al Jazeera, he outlined a clear roadmap laid out by President Joseph Aoun that starts with a ceasefire, followed by disarmament and ultimately leading to political negotiations aimed at resolving the crisis. However, he noted the absence of any response from external actors regarding this proposal.

Mitri also pointed to the Israeli representative's comments during a UN Security Council session, who linked the situation in Lebanon to the US-Israeli conflict with Iran, framing Hezbollah as an Iranian tool within the broader regional battle. He highlighted the lack of any indication from the Israeli side of a willingness to negotiate or implement a ceasefire, in stark contrast to Lebanon's official stance against Hezbollah's military operations since March 2nd. The government has put its policy of banning military operations into action, yet faces significant challenges on the ground due to ongoing Israeli strikes targeting regions suspected of harboring Hezbollah members.

The current developments reflect Lebanon's precarious position in a turbulent regional landscape, with implications for its domestic stability and international relations. As the government pushes for disarmament and a cessation of hostilities, the likelihood of achieving a peaceful resolution seems uncertain amid the continued military confrontations and the complex geopolitics involving foreign powers in the region.
