The United States reaffirmed on Sunday its support for a security process aimed at strengthening stability along the Israel-Lebanon border following a recent escalation, stressing that the disarmament of Hezbollah is an essential component of the framework.

A US State Department spokesperson told The Jerusalem Post that the “pilot zone” process remains the only viable path toward achieving long-term peace and security for both Lebanon and Israel.

“We look forward to the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF)'s completion of clearance operations in the first pilot zones and, after clearance is verified, the process will expand,” said the spokesperson.

The spokesperson emphasized that Hezbollah’s disarmament is an integral part of the process, signaling that Washington views the removal of the Iran-backed group’s military capabilities as a central element of any lasting security arrangement.
