The agreement also outlines steps to create pilot zones in which Lebanese Armed Forces will hold exclusive control \u201cto the exclusion of all non-state actors,\u201d including the currently present IDF ground forces.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Delegates also discussed a security framework aimed at the \u201cdismantlement of non-state armed groups\u201d and steps to protect the security and integrity of Lebanon and Israel. Particularly telling was the statement that \u201cAll countries \u2026 rejected any attempt, by any state or non-state actor, to hold Lebanon\u2019s future hostage.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The ability and willingness of Lebanon to rein in Hezbollah has always been a murky question, as the group is a dominant political party and a paramilitary social movement deeply embedded within the state itself. The extensive backing of Iran has ensured that Hezbollah holds more of the cards militarily and logistically than the constitutional Lebanese Armed Forces.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationallogisticspost.com\/?p=295\">The Spectacle Ep. 426: Scott Pelley\u2019s Crash Out and the End of Boomer Propaganda<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>The coming days will reveal the extent to which Lebanon is capable of restraining Hezbollah to the agreement\u2019s parameters. Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem issued <\/span><span>a response Thursday<\/span><span> to the agreement that appears to vehemently reject the deal, calling the negotiations \u201cabsurd, humiliating and shameful.\u201d Qassem rejected the terms of the ceasefire, the cessation of Hezbollah\u2019s fire, and withdrawal from the southern front as tantamount to \u201csurrender, defeat and achieving the enemy\u2019s goals.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Lebanese President <\/span><span>Joseph Aoun said<\/span><span> the ceasefire could come into effect within 24 hours of its final approval by all concerned parties. In the meantime, <\/span><span>reports of military incidents<\/span><span> continue on both sides. Lebanon\u2019s National News Agency has reported continued airstrikes in the region bordering Israel, with four killed in airstrikes on the town of Sohmor. Sirens signaling drone interception efforts <\/span><span>continue to ring<\/span><span> in border settlements in northern Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>For the broader conflict in the Middle East, the timing of the ceasefire has larger implications. U.S.\u2013Iran negotiations are ongoing, but with little to show for them in terms of progress. A Hezbollah rejection of the ceasefire agreement may carry more than just an unwillingness to abide by terms they were not included in. As one of Iran\u2019s favorite proxies, it may also signal that Tehran is not yet prepared to deescalate unless it receives concessions at the negotiating table.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The words of the Lebanese government hold little sway in practice over Hezbollah\u2019s actions. If Hezbollah violates the deal, as it seems poised to do, it should remind American negotiators that Iran\u2019s promises at the table are only as meaningful as Tehran\u2019s willingness to restrain its proxies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationallogisticspost.com\/?p=293\">The California Primary Races Still Counting Votes<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Henry Zavalick is an editorial intern at <\/strong><\/em><strong>The American Spectator<\/strong><em><strong>.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<h6><em>Image licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0.<\/em><\/h6>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A most wonderful article<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":298,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-299","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsfeed"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
