Disarming #Hezbollah is a Lebanese demand first, an Israeli demand second. Beirut needs to move—before the clock hits zero. President Trump must step in now, or #Iran and #Israel will drag #Lebanon into yet another war it can’t afford. With Becky Anderson

Difficult for #Iran to proceed with ceasefire while abandoning Hezbollah to its fate in #Lebanon. #Israel’s decision to negotiate a ceasefire via the Lebanese government is clever. A ceasefire, but one empowering Beirut, not Tehran. Now will Iran accept & facilitate? Becky Anderson

The U.S. is hosting direct talks between Israel and Lebanon to negotiate a ceasefire today. Hezbollah, which Israel says it is targeting, is not participating in the talks. Israel’s demand that Hezbollah be disarmed is “anything but reasonable,” because the Lebanese government has no capacity to enforce that demand, says Daniel Levy, a former Israeli peace negotiator and now president of US/Middle East Project. "Israel knows that what it is doing here is it is trying to put something that sounds reasonable on the table, but with the intention of embarrassing and humiliating the Lebanese government." The foregone failed conclusion of the talks could "throw Lebanon back into a civil war," which is an outcome that some Israeli leaders have "openly" considered. "This is an exercise in trying to pursue a zero sum agenda which has nothing in it for the Lebanese side." Watch our full interview with Levy here:

Looks like the beginnings of civil war in Beirut. Lebanese troops are fighting a Hezbollah uprising. Iran is fighting the peace process with the US. and Hezbollah is fighting the peace deal in Lebanon. Will this hold, or is Hezbollah/Iran already sabotaging peace? We’ve led so far, now we must enforce. 🙏🇺🇸 What do you guys think?

LEBANON AND HEZBOLLAH: A Country on the Edge of Another War. 🇱🇧 🇮🇱 This country has already lived through one ceasefire that collapsed into a full war. Hezbollah is an Iran-backed armed group that's also part of Lebanon's government. After Hamas attacked Israel in October 2023, Hezbollah opened a second front from southern Lebanon... Everything changed in March 2026. When Israel and the US went to war with Iran, Hezbollah's main backer, Hezbollah fired on Israel for the first time since the ceasefire!!

Reports an Israeli drone has killed the vice president of Hamas political wing, and others, in Beirut. Lebanon’s Premier Najib Mikati has said this is to drag Lebanon into war with Israel. The world is in a dangerous place and we lack true leaders.

The MOU has been signed! However, Israel, which is meant to stop all military operations, already bombed a car in South Lebanon, and advanced towards another town Will Trump be able to force Netanyahu to abide by the deal, or will Israel drag Iran back into war in defence of Hezbollah?

Israel and Lebanon are not at war. Israel is at war with Iran-backed Hezbollah terrorists that are occupying Lebanon. And do you know who else wants to get rid of Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon? The Lebanese government, which just signed a framework agreement with Israel in Washington, DC. Here’s everything you need to know about Hezbollah and how it became a military base for Iran on Israel’s northern border. Free Lebanon from Hezbollah. Free Lebanon and the Middle East from Iranian occupation.

🟡 Hezbollah member of Lebanese parliament Ibrahim Al Moussawi says it is “highly likely” that Iran will soon declare all of southern Lebanon as under its protection where any new Israeli attack will result in Iranian attacks on Israel. It has already done so with Beirut. He also pushed back heavily against Lebanese President Aoun's assertions that Iran was using Lebanon as leverage in its broader geopolitical standoff with Washington. “Iran is helping Lebanon. Lebanon is not in a place to help Iran anymore,” he said. Credit: Al Jazeera

“CEASEFIRE? WE’VE SEEN THIS BEFORE” Ambassador Nathan Sales: “Israel isn’t at war with Lebanon—it’s at war with HEZBOLLAH.” “This is a positive step… but let’s see if it HOLDS.” “The real question: does Lebanon have the WILL to rein in Hezbollah?”

🎥 Lebanon, Hezbollah, and the Separate Negotiating Track Jeremy Scahill tells Al Jazeera that Israel and the U.S. underestimated how firmly Iran would defend Lebanon as a red line in negotiations. While U.S. and Israel sought to move Lebanon onto an entirely separate negotiating track through President Joseph Aoun and the Lebanese Army, Iran and Hezbollah worked to tie Lebanon directly to the broader U.S.-Iran agreement, and as a result, separate the United States from Israel. Full discussion on why Iran made an end to the war in Lebanon a core condition of the deal below. ⬇️ Steve Clemons | jeremy scahill

🇺🇸🇱🇧 Lindsey Graham warns Trump not to accept a Lebanon peace deal unless it includes disarming Hezbollah: "If it doesn't have a pathway to disarm Hezbollah, it is a fake peace deal... We've got this regime on the ropes. Don't throw them a lifeline." Graham spent six weeks cheering every escalation, and now, just hours into a Lebanon ceasefire, he’s already calling it fake before it’s had any chance to work. He wants Hezbollah disarmed. Fine. Most people do. But the man demanding it has shown zero interest in addressing why Hezbollah exists in the first place: Israeli occupation of Lebanese territory, the same occupation Israel is expanding right now...

Lebanon signed a deal with Israel yesterday and Fmr Israel Peace Negotiator Daniel Levy couldn't believe what he was reading The Iranian MOU already required unconditional Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon, and then the Lebanese government turned around and signed a separate deal making that withdrawal conditional on disarming Hezbollah Daniel's line: Iran negotiated better terms for Lebanon than Lebanon did for itself An Israeli military commentator went on Channel 13 the same night and called it a win-win, either Israel stays in Lebanon or Lebanon is forced into civil war with Hezbollah Why did Lebanon do it? Daniel says they don't have leverage, they over-internalized their weakness, and they handed away what little bargaining power the MOU had given them Collaborating with Israel doesn't get you dignity, it gets you humiliated in front of your own people Has the Lebanese government just signed its own death warrant?

My latest on Al Jazeera English about tonight’s Iran strike on Israel: • Iran did what Lebanon’s own government refused to do: defend Lebanon from Israeli bombs • The Lebanese government condemns Iran while allying with the Americans who arm and coordinate Israel’s strikes on Beirut • The anti-Hezbollah camp is using Israeli military force to achieve what they can’t win democratically (Hezbollah is Lebanon’s largest elected parliamentary bloc) • Tonight we find out if Trump has the political will to actually put a leash on Israel

🚨 MOSSADIL ASKS: IS LEBANON READY TO CONFRONT HEZBOLLAH? I sat down with Dan Feferman, Dan Feferman , co-founder of Middle East 24 ME24 - Middle East 24, to discuss: ✔️Israel’s escalating fight against Hezbollah ✔️The future of Lebanon ✔️Why the so-called ceasefire was never really a ceasefire. Dan’s bottom line: Hezbollah dragged Lebanon into Iran’s war against Israel. The Lebanese state knows it, many Lebanese citizens know it, and yet the government still lacks the power, courage, or backing to fully confront Hezbollah. The real question now is simple: Will Lebanon reclaim its sovereignty, or will Hezbollah continue using the country as a launchpad for Iran’s war? Watch the full conversation on Mossadil Asks.

VP JD Vance says the US-Iran deal doesn't talk about Israel withdrawing from southern Lebanon. He also notes, "Israel would love to get out of southern Lebanon so long as the Hezbollah threat is gone," and affirms that Israel has the right to self-defense. Israeli PM Netanyahu reiterated today: Israel will remain in the security zone in southern Lebanon as long as Israel's security needs demand it.
