Israeli Economy Minister: Lebanon must disarm Hezbollah before economic talks

Israel’s Economy Minister Nir Barkat said the upcoming meeting in Naqoura is “very important,” but stressed that Lebanon must first disarm Hezbollah before any economic or other bilateral relations can be discussed.

The minister emphasized that only after the Lebanese state addresses the issue of Hezbollah’s weapons can talks on cooperation proceed.
