US Senator Lindsey Graham ended a meeting with Lebanese army chief General Rodolphe Haykal after Haykal declined to label Hezbollah as a terrorist group. Graham expressed frustration over the Lebanese military's stance, citing Hezbollah's history of violence and its designation as a terrorist organization by the United States since 1997. The incident highlights ongoing tensions surrounding efforts to disarm Hezbollah as part of a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon. Despite pressure from Lebanese authorities to ensure a state monopoly on arms, Hezbollah has vowed to retain its weapons, with its leader warning that disarmament would threaten Lebanon's stability.
