Mark Levin is weighing in on the new Israeli ceasefire with Lebanon, and he makes great points about the effectiveness of it.
Here’s what he said:
Some facts and questions worth thinking about:
1. Lebanese armed forces cannot stop Hezbollah
2. The IDF was destroying Hezbollah
3. How does a ceasefire between Israel and the government of Lebanon or a peace deal stop Hezbollah?
4. A ceasefire means Israel stops destroying Hezbollah since the Lebanese army and Israel and not fighting each other
5. The Iranian regime is on the ropes thanks to the military offensive and now the blockade
6. If reports are correct, the Iranian regime demanded Israel stop destroying Hezbollah as a condition of negotiating again with us, thereby linking Hezbollah’s survival to that of the Iranian regime.
7. Do we want the Iranian regime and Hezbollah to survive? If so, why?
Levin makes clear that the Lebanese army can’t defeat Hezbollah, which means there can be no permanent ceasefire, because Israel will have to do it.
Also on point 3, I am wondering the same thing. Because, from what we know, the ceasefire is one-sided. It’s just Israel ceasing military action. What if Hezbollah begins firing missiles after 5pm eastern? Israel will have to respond and the ceasefire will be over, so I see no real effectiveness of it if Hezbollah isn’t part of it.
I really think Trump did this to get Aoun to the table, however I just don’t see anything positive coming from this, especially if Lebanon can’t top Hezbollah.
