“Yet the strategic situation remains essentially unchanged. Lebanon is still host to an Iran-implanted deep state that is much stronger than the official bodies of state. This Iran controlled structure does not require the permission of the official state for its actions and did not seek this consent before it launched its ruinous campaign on […]

Oma Mizrahi INSS Insight No. 1916, Nov. 21, 2024 “New voices against Hezbollah are also emerging within the Shiite community, which has borne the brunt of the war.” As the war between Hezbollah and Israel continues, the toll on Lebanon is steadily increasing. Despite Israel’s efforts to focus on targeting Hezbollah and avoid damage to […]
Yoni Ben Menachem Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs, Nov. 28, 2024 “Israel has significantly restored its deterrent power, which had been undermined by Hamas’s surprise attacks of October 7, 2023.” Israel must adopt a proactive security policy on its northern border, as Iran and Hizbullah are likely to seek opportunities to surprise Israel […]

Danny Zaken Israel Hayom, Nov. 27, 2024 “This shift primarily reflects a change in State Department strategy, which had previously sought to influence Israel’s military operations, particularly regarding advances into Rafah and Khan Younis.” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his security cabinet’s decision to approve the ceasefire agreement with Lebanon was heavily influenced by […]
Kyle Orton Unherd, Nov. 27, 2024 “It is an open question whether these terms can sustain a ceasefire even for the 60 days needed for the first phase of implementation.” The ceasefire announced between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon enters into force today. It does, however, contain several flaws. The key problem is enforcement. The framework for […]
Dr. Fiamma Nirenstein Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs, Nov. 27, 2024 “The Jewish state understands that continuing to battle Hizbullah diverts time and resources from the primary target: Iran, which is developing a nuclear bomb while reshaping its strategy of encirclement.” The Hizbullah-Israel ceasefire is unlike the 2006 agreement, which fell apart the […]

Michal Kranz Unherd, Oct. 9, 2024 “It’s already clear that Lebanon’s old political order is dead and buried.” Over the last fortnight, everything has changed in Lebanon.
