Deep dives
Ceasefire Situation in Lebanon
The current ceasefire agreement in Lebanon has been tenuous, as Israeli forces continue to conduct daily bombardments despite the supposed truce. Israel justifies its actions by claiming that Hezbollah is violating the ceasefire and setting up rocket launch sites, while Hezbollah has retaliated on several occasions. This ongoing conflict highlights the problematic nature of the ceasefire, where one side seems to be absolved of restraint while the other is pressured to comply. Furthermore, U.S. assurances to Israel allow for continued military actions, raising concerns about the potential collapse of the ceasefire and escalating violence directed at both Hezbollah and the Lebanese state.
