BEIRUT, Lebanon — U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice stepped up international pressure on Hezbollah to disarm, saying in a television interview aired Friday that the militant group must surrender its weapons if it wants to remain part of Lebanon’s political process. Rice urged Hezbollah to lay down its arms according to the cease-fire that ended its 34-day war with Israel last summer.
