No request yet on for Hezbollah disarmament, Foreign Ministry says
Reports emerged that Indonesia is among countries shortlisted to contribute in monitoring Hezbollah’s disarmament as part of Israel-Lebanon agreement, a shortlist denied by a Lebanese official.
Recent reports have emerged regarding potential countries being shortlisted to contribute in the monitoring of Hezbollah’s disarmament as part of the Israel-Lebanon agreement. However, a Lebanese official has firmly denied these claims, stating that the government has not received any formal requests to participate in the disarmament process.
According to Reuters, Indonesia was among the countries reportedly "agreed" by Israel and Lebanon, alongside the United Kingdom, Italy, and Switzerland, to potentially deploy foreign troops to oversee the disarmament verification. Nevertheless, the Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Yvonne Mewengkang, has clarified that they have not received any requests from any parties regarding this matter.
She emphasized Indonesia's commitment to supporting peace efforts in Lebanon, citing the country's participation in the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL). The list of potential contributors was announced following United States-mediated talks in Rome during the latest round of negotiations between Israel and Lebanon on implementing a June agreement that linked Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon to Hezbollah’s disarmament.
