Lebanese News and Updates
See, diplomacy is not a bad thing. Oh how I wish for this to be solved diplomacy and we not face another bloodshed and for us Lebanese in the south to build our houses and our business and know we are not risking losing it all one day. However with Israel, diplomacy will never work, because Israel is Israel.
Diplomacy did not work in 1978, 1982, 1985, 1993, 1996, 2000, 2006, etc. It did not liberate the lands nor the prisoners.
Set all aside, what did Syria do to get attacked by the IDF? What did Syria do to trigger not only the waves of attacks that deeply damaged the state's assets but now get its south fully under Israeli fire and partial occupation and daily incursions. Do you understand that Israel is now no where near a position where it is ready to concede to anyone inferior to it nor is it willing to adhere to any law or stipulations?
Israel is willing to sacrifice its hostages in an attempt to erase Gaza and ensure no other 7-oct happens ever again. So do you think the IDF will accept to leave the Lebanese hills that are the only factor of comfort for its settlers to come home. The same settlers who were not satisfied by the unprecedented results of the Israel war in Lebanon and are demanding much much more!?
For now, the state has to make a clear choice of not giving Israel the pretext to attack Lebanon.
Unfortunately the state is now stuck with an PM who comes from anti-Hezb political background with a prestigious CV who speaks in an Egyptian accent on Saudi TV and surrounds himself with NGO-funded and soros-backed Ministers …. and a president who is taking his power from the US and the Arab gulf states who pressured everyone to elect him. I do have more faith from Aoun than from Nawaf, but the gravity of how much the US and Saudi Arabia wanted him to be elected is just a very worrisome factor for me. What did he promise them or what did he guarantee?
Regardless, the state should continue the diplomatic effort because if it achieves anything through it, it would a blessing for Lebanon and for Hezbullah, who does not seek war for pleasure but is forced under duty.
With diplomatic efforts and the lack of action by Hezbullah, the Israeli pretext for attacks and occupation diminishes and the lack of results legitimizes a resistance who Hezbullah will be it. I do not personally see any changes in Israel actions and only hope to see them disengage with a new PM after the 2026 elections. So to say atleast, it will be a rough 2 years.
When Hezbullah resumes activity, I have high hopes that Hezbullah would have filled the gaps in terms of resolving breaches and found solutions to offset some of the new Israeli tactics in warfare. See, that IF itself is what the IDF attacks Lebanon based on, under its new doctrine.
When Hezbullah attacks, I hope it drives this battle in a very smart way, and limits attacks against IDF bases in Lebanon only and strictly ensures it does not harm Israeli settlements or bases in Israel, not even Shebaa farms.
This is not for Israel's sake or even the world's but for the Lebanese and the rhetoric that is much needed to justify their actions which could lead to a negative impact on the lives of tens of thousands.
Hezbullah is not in a rush to liberate these hills, as the IDF so far is not using them to send troops to raid Lebanese towns and Hezbullah is not in a rush to liberate the border wall. Time is on our side and so is the rhetoric. Priority now is to deal with people's wellbeing, rebuilding, compensations, etc..
However the clear challenge today is how to deal with this new Israeli doctrine that is behind the daily Israeli violations at a time where diplomacy is failing to produce results. When does the IDF attack deeper in Lebanon and what protects Lebaonn from an Israeli false flag that would be the pretext to attack buildings in Beirut and assassinating senior Hezbullah officials whom the IDF so far has both abstained regarding some and does not know the whereabouts of some.
