Netanyahu’s explanation for the agreement with Lebanon

Yossi Schwartz, ISL (RCIT section in Israel/Occupied Palestine), 27.11.2024

He noted that the cease-fire’s duration would depend on developments in Lebanon, hinting that it may be a temporary truce rather than a permanent agreement.

Addressing a contentious clause in the deal, which Lebanon reportedly opposes, Netanyahu asserted, “In full coordination with the US, we are maintaining complete freedom of military action.”

He elaborated, “If Hezbollah violates the agreement or attempts to rearm, we will strike. If they rebuild infrastructure near the border, we will strike. If they fire rockets, dig tunnels, or transport missiles, we will strike.”

Netanyahu cited three key reasons for supporting the cease-fire at this time: “focusing on the Iranian threat, fully restoring Israel’s military strength, and isolating Hamas by separating the various conflict arenas.” [1]

Following this agreement with Lebanon, Hamas is now in a weaker position and is likely to agree to a poor deal. The reactionary regime in Iran puts pressure on Hezbollah to accept this deal that isolates Hamas. While Hamas has been fighting heroically and Hezbollah fought the Zionist monster only partly, Iran betrayed both. This agreement of ceasefire proves that we were right to give Hamas and Hezbollah support as long as they fight Israel, but not to provide them with political support. 

No to the rotten deal!

The only solution is the Arab revolution!

For Palestine, red and free from the river to the sea!
