Hezbollah Rejects US‑Brokered Israel–Lebanon Framework Amid Border Strikes

Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem denounced the Washington-brokered framework linking a ceasefire with Hezbollah disarmament, saying Hezbollah will continue to resist as Israeli strikes hit southern Lebanon and casualties rise. Protests followed in Beirut, and the Lebanese army urged restraint. The agreement does not mandate an immediate withdrawal but is framed as a path to normalisation and future direct talks, with some Lebanese officials praising it as progress while others warn it could empower Israel if Hezbollah remains armed. Israel signaled a potential extended stay in the security zone, and the toll from the conflict has surpassed 4,246 killed and 12,190 wounded since March.

Cairo Talks at Risk as Gaza Weapons Disarmament Demands Intensify

Cairo ceasefire talks face a major hurdle over US-led demands for total disarmament and surrender of tunnel maps, with Palestine factions pushing for a phased, inventory-based approach to weapons under Palestinian-led oversight. Hamas and other groups link disarmament to Israeli withdrawal, while Israel demands dismantling Hamas tunnels and weapon facilities, creating a rift between the two sides and threatening the path to a broader peace deal.

Lebanon frees Hezbollah suspects on bail amid arms-restriction crackdown

Lebanon released two Hezbollah operatives on bail after a month in detention for violating its arms restrictions, with bail set at 100 million Lebanese pounds (about $1,120). The suspects reportedly admitted transporting 21 Grad missiles, 3,000 rounds of ammunition, and eight machine guns from the Bekaa Valley to southern Lebanon to confront the IDF. The move comes amid ongoing tensions over disarming Hezbollah and drew protests from pro-Hezbollah lawyers; Prime Minister Nawaf Salam criticized Hezbollah’s attack that preceded the arms ban, while think tanks argued the Lebanese state remains unwilling or unable to disarm the group.

Hamas balks at disarmament plan, seeks changes to Gaza ceasefire framework

Hamas rejected the US-led Board of Peace's disarmament plan for Gaza, demanding modifications and accusing mediator Nickolay Mladenov of pro-Israel bias; the group says it will not disarm and wants Israel to fulfill Phase I obligations before Phase II talks, as the BoP deadline expired and other factions criticized the plan.

IDF Data Contradicts Lebanon’s Claim to Disarm Hezbollah in the South

Israel’s IDF released statistics alleging Hezbollah fired about 3,000 mortars and missiles from near the Litani River since the operation began, refuting Lebanon’s Jan. 8, 2026 claim that Hezbollah had been disarmed in southern Lebanon; the IDF calls the Lebanese claim a lie and says Hezbollah has reinforced its forces and can move south via bridges and crossings, undermining the LAF’s disarmament effort.

Trump's Board of Peace offers written disarmament path to Hamas in Cairo talks

US President Donald Trump's Board of Peace presented Hamas with a written plan on laying down its weapons, delivered during Cairo meetings. The proposal contemplates amnesty for Hamas and targeted investments in Gaza in exchange for full decommissioning of heavy and light weapons, though Hamas has shown skepticism and Israel demands complete disarmament. The framework aims to advance Gaza reconstruction, but funding and acceptance remain uncertain, and talks have been paused since the start of the US-Israeli war on Iran.

Lebanon Bans Hezbollah's Military Role After Israel Attacks

Lebanon’s prime minister Nawaf Salam banned Hezbollah’s military activities, restricting the group to the political sphere and ordering security forces to prevent attacks from Lebanese soil, after Iran-linked Hezbollah launched rockets and drones at Israel and Israel retaliated with air raids on Beirut that killed more than 30 people and injured hundreds. Hezbollah says it acted in defense of Lebanon; the move comes amid Lebanon’s broader push to disarm the group and avert further escalation as the country grapples with economic and political crises, with phased disarmament efforts already underway.

The Sunset of New START: Expiration and what comes next for nuclear arms

The New START treaty—the last major cap on U.S.–Russia strategic nuclear arsenals—expires, potentially removing verifiable limits on warheads and delivery systems. Lawmakers warn this could spark a dangerous and costly arms race, while negotiators explore a possible extension or a new agreement to preserve some restraint on nuclear forces.

When the Last US-Russia Nuclear Pact Ends, Could a New Arms Race Begin?

When the Last US-Russia Nuclear Pact Ends, Could a New Arms Race Begin?

New START, the last US‑Russia nuclear-arms restraint, lapses on Feb 4 with no extension talks underway. Its verification and data-exchange mechanisms would end, potentially enabling larger deployed arsenals on both sides and raising the risk of a renewed arms race; with no immediate successor treaty and trilateral talks with China unlikely, there is a push for a verifiable, multilateral disarmament framework to curb risks.

Leverage to Disarm Hamas and Rebuild Gaza

Leverage to Disarm Hamas and Rebuild Gaza

Ross and Makovsky argue that phase two of the Trump administration's Gaza peace plan hinges on Hamas disarming; a US-backed push by Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey would deploy a technocratic Gaza authority, an international stabilization force, and reconstruction, with Israeli withdrawal tied to disarmament. If Hamas does not disarm, Gaza risks remaining divided or returning to war, whereas credible disarmament could unlock reconstruction and a path to Palestinian self-determination.
