Assessing the Ceasefire Agreement
The fragile ceasefire, brokered by the U.S., raises questions among many Israelis regarding its effectiveness and the lack of a buffer zone along the border with Lebanon. Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett criticized the absence of such a zone, arguing it would be crucial in preventing Hezbollah from getting too close to the Israeli border. However, U.S. envoy Amos Hochstein dismissed this idea as unrealistic, emphasizing that a buffer zone would necessitate an occupation of part of Lebanon, which Lebanon would never agree to. This highlights the complex dynamics surrounding security agreements in the region, with many Israeli locals expressing fears of a potential invasion similar to that experienced on October 7th.
