Lebanon’s Hezbollah is working to rebuild its waning popularity following its recent confrontation with the Israeli Occupation, using the upcoming municipal and local elections, scheduled for May 4, 2025, as a key political platform to do so.

As Hezbollah gives up military positions it has held in southern Lebanon for decades, the issues of disarmament and integrating its fighters into the Lebanese army have emerged as major challenges, especially as the group’s power has waned.

Hezbollah is gradually handing over its southern positions to the Lebanese army under a fragile ceasefire with "Israel," amid U.S. pressure, looming sanctions, and growing calls to confine all weapons to state control.

Hezbollah is treading a murky line when it comes to the future of its arsenal, as U.S. and Israeli pressure mounts on the Lebanese army to resolve the longstanding issue of the group’s weapons, especially after the latest flare-up between Beirut and "Tel Aviv."

Lebanon's debate over Senate creation and electoral reforms is hindered by sectarian divisions and calls for Hezbollah's disarmament.
