Mass protests erupted in Beirut with Hezbollah supporters vehemently denouncing a newly signed trilateral peace framework with Israel and the United States. Protesters voiced outrage over the agreement, especially given the ongoing Israeli occupation of southern Lebanon and military actions. Hundreds of motorcyclists participated, blocking roads near government buildings and burning tires in a show of defiance. The Lebanese army established checkpoints but did not immediately disperse the demonstrators. Critics argue the deal lacks a fixed timeline for Israeli withdrawal, making it contingent on Hezbollah's disarmament. Hezbollah leadership condemned the agreement, stating it legitimizes Israel's occupation and potentially leads to territorial annexation. The US aims to reduce Hezbollah's influence and disarm the group while securing the Strait of Hormuz. Hezbollah leaders expressed their commitment to resisting the agreement, vowing action for Lebanon's sovereignty and land liberation. They view the linking of Israeli withdrawal to their disarmament as a dangerous proposition, making Lebanon a pawn. Hezbollah had previously refused to participate in the US-hosted talks, accusing Israel of aggression to expand its borders.
