🎥 NEW: Hezbollah expert Amal Saad on the new “framework” between Israel and Lebanon: “I think it’s not an exaggeration to say… it transcends even the Abraham Accords… and it resembles much more closely an alliance treaty… not a proper alliance… [but] an alliance that exclusively actually serves Israel...

🇱🇧 The Risk of Civil War Hezbollah expert Amal Saad tells Drop Site that civil strife is the only thing Lebanon’s authorities “can guarantee” Israel under the new Lebanon-Israel framework. She calls it “a form of self-colonization,” with the Lebanese state “handing over south Lebanon for Israel to colonize, handing over the people of the South for Israel to genocide and ethnically cleanse, and in exchange… offer civil strife.” Saad argues the objective is to “get Hezbollah mired in a civil war” that would “distract it from its resistance activity.” But, “even with the civil strife, they probably will still not succeed in disarming Hezbollah.” jeremy scahill | Amal Saad

⚡️“This government went out of its way to ensure that Lebanon is occupied and annexed.” Drop Site’s Jeremy Scahill spoke with Amal Saad, a lecturer on international relations at Cardiff University and author of an upcoming book on Hezbollah and the Axis of Resistance, about the Lebanese government’s decision to work against a full Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon. Saad contends that when the Iran-U.S. ceasefire created an opening to compel an Israeli withdrawal, Lebanese authorities moved to delink Hezbollah from the agreement, effectively handing Israel a framework to remain in the south indefinitely, contingent on Hezbollah’s disarmament. A condition, Saad notes, that both sides know will never be met. 🔗 Watch the full conversation on Drop Site’s YouTube channel jeremy scahill | Amal Saad

🇱🇧 How Will Hezbollah Respond to the New Lebanon-Israel Framework Agreement? Hezbollah expert Amal Saad tells Drop Site the group is first waiting to see how Iran responds to what it views as a U.S. effort to undermine the Iran-U.S. MOU. Domestically, she says Hezbollah has already made clear it will refuse to be drawn into civil strife, ruling out mass protests because they could inflame sectarian tensions and endanger the large number of displaced Shiites still living in vulnerable host communities across Lebanon. Instead of resigning from the government, Saad argues Hezbollah will seek to fight the framework “from within the state,” rejecting efforts to portray it as an organization outside the Lebanese state.

Question: What about Lebanon? Is Lebanon going to be part of a deal? U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio: "Well, Lebanon we’re working on separately. With Lebanon we are engaged now. We have a 45-day ceasefire. We’ve had weekly meetings now and ongoing daily engagements between the government of Lebanon and Israel. The problem is not Lebanon and Israel. The problem is Hezbollah. Just last night Hezbollah put out a statement calling for the overthrow of the Lebanese government. And it just reminds you who you’re dealing with here - by the way, an Iranian proxy, 100% Iranian proxy. And as long as an armed Hezbollah exists, it’s going to be hard to achieve peace in Lebanon because they’re victimizing the people of Lebanon. They’re not just attacking Israel. But we’re working that track with the Lebanese government and the Israeli government. And we’ve made some good progress there - an extended ceasefire, a path forward. We’re going to continue to work on that. Hezbollah is a terrorist group.” Question: "Would it be an understanding that Israel wouldn’t strike Lebanon as part of the deal?” U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio: "Well, Israel always has a right to protect itself. Every country in the world does. So if Hezbollah is going to launch missiles at them, Israel has every right to respond to that or to prevent that from happening. That’s always been understood during the ceasefire, and it will be understood beyond that."

🎥 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.

🚨 LEBANESE VOICE: THIS ISN’T OUR WAR — IT’S IRAN’S FIGHT ON OUR SOIL MP Nadim Gemayel: "Today in Lebanon, any implementation of this agreement or anything on Lebanese territory will effectively lead to a conflict between Lebanon and the Iranian faction in Lebanon. The problem today is not between Lebanon and Israel. The problem today is not between the Lebanese themselves. The problem today is between Israel and the Iranian faction in Lebanon. Those fighting in the south against Israel are not the Lebanese. Today, the vast majority of Lebanese, more than 90%, do not want war. They do not want this war."

The Lebanese Government just SOLD OUT Southern Lebanon and Their Sovereignty to Israel Even Netanyahu ADMITS Iran was getting Lebanon a BETTER deal thank this framework, but Joseph Aoun prefers to see more Lebanese getting killed in the south. Netanyahu: Israel remains in the security zone in southern Lebanon. This is a great achievement, and we will maintain it as long as Hezbollah is not disarmed, as long as a threat to the State of Israel exists.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the disputed buffer zone between Israel and Lebanon is "at the core of" negotiations the U.S. is mediating between Lebanon and Israel, and the goal is for the Lebanese government to "continue to be able to control and secure more and more of their own territory." "The more of that area the Lebanese armed forces is able to secure, the less of it is in Hezbollah's control, the less Israel will be in Lebanon," Rubio says.

🇱🇧 Hezbollah expert Amal Saad tells Drop Site the new Lebanon-Israel framework “does not reflect the political reality on the ground.” “Iran is very clearly now arising,” she said. “I don’t want to say a regional hegemon, but it is by far now the strongest regional power.” “Hezbollah has also proven that it is much more powerful and definitely not finished, as many had predicted it had been since November 2024,” Saad said. Citing Al-Akhbar’s reporting that the framework had already been negotiated in early March, Saad argued the parties appear to have relied on the assumption that Iran would collapse and Hezbollah would emerge severely weakened. Saad notes neither occurred, arguing the agreement is “incongruous” with the balance of power on the ground. jeremy scahill | Amal Saad

🇱🇧 Why Did Joseph Aoun Agree to the Lebanon-Israel “Surrender” Framework? Hezbollah expert Amal Saad tells Drop Site she believes Lebanon’s leadership must “actually believe… that the U.S. is invincible,” and that the U.S. and Israel will ultimately prevail despite Iran and Hezbollah’s battlefield resilience and what she describes as Iran’s unprecedented “security umbrella” for Lebanon. “I honestly don’t know to what extent they are that delusional, to think that Iran and Hezbollah have lost, because they clearly haven’t.” Saad, who taught officers in a joint strategic studies program with the Lebanese Armed Forces for six years, says she also struggles to reconcile former army commander Joseph Aoun’s current position with the military ethos she observed. Officers routinely referred to Israel as “the enemy” or the “Zionist enemy,” she said. “I am really hard-pressed to imagine how a man who was in that position… is the same person now.” Similarly, she notes that Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, who served as an ICJ judge in the genocide case against Israel, is now part of a government that has authored an agreement that preemptively absolves Israel of all war crimes committed in Lebanon. “People of the South have historically always resisted Israel, and they will continue to do so, even if it’s with very basic weapons,” Saad says, even as Lebanon’s leaders are “more than happy” for Israel to “relieve them of this burden called the resistant people of South Lebanon.” Watch ⬇️ jeremy scahill | Amal Saad

On Lebanese talkshow صار الوقت with Marcel Ghanem: 1. If Hezbollah is winning and beating Israel like it claims, then why is it dying to stop the war and be part of the Iran ceasefire? Why not go on and win back all the land from Israel? If the war stops this minute, at least 300,000 Lebanese won't be able to return to the buffer zone in south Lebanon. 2. The Lebanese keep on saying "Israeli aggression" while in reality, in 2006, 2023, 2026, Hezbollah was always the aggressor, the one that started the war. Also, from an international law perspective, Israel is in the clear defending itself while Lebanon is in violation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701 (disarm Hezbollah). 3. Hezbollah chief Qassem published a book called The Resistance State that a government coexists with an armed non-state actor against global imperialism. Israel wants this model dead. Either Lebanon becomes a normal sovereign state responsible for any violence that originates from its territory, or Israel will keep a buffer zone like in Gaza until Hezbollah surrenders its arms. 4. Hezbollah surrendering its arms to win back land is great. After all the goal is for Shia to live in their land in peace. The goal is not to keep the arms. The arms is a tool and if throwing it away achieve the goal, then be it. 5. Disarming Hezbollah doesn't have to be war, it requires Lebanese political consensus to ask Hezbollah to surrender its arms to the army. It succeeded in 1982 when the Lebanese asked Arafat to leave Lebanon to stop the war with Israel. It succeeded in 2005 when the Lebanese ejected Assad's army from their country.

🟡 Hezbollah MP Ibrahim Al-Mousawi: “No one can disagree that the official authorities should have a monopoly on arms — this is one of the definitions of a state. But one of the most important functions of any state is to defend and protect its people. This is what the army should do. This is their duty. What happened in Lebanon is that at no point has Lebanon had an army equipped enough, or one given the political decision by its leaders, to defend or protect Lebanon. This happened again this time — the Lebanese authorities issued orders to the Lebanese army to withdraw from its positions. The villagers of southern Lebanon, Christians, Muslims, were begging the army to stay. The head of the army himself said, ‘I have many different scenarios I can use to defend or to protect.’ But the officials ordered the army not to fight back, not to protect, not to defend, simply to withdraw... The normal function has not been performed by the government or the army. … And more importantly — how did the resistance come about? Why did we go to fight the occupation, to try to liberate, to protect, to defend? Was the Lebanese army there and we just pushed them aside? Of course not. There was a vacuum, a negligence, a recklessness, an abandonment of the people. As long as the occupation continues, the resistance will continue. The resistance has every right to fight back. If the Lebanese army were equipped well enough to fight back, it’s not a hobby that we want to do. It’s not that we want to be killed or whatever. There was a job to be done. The army didn’t do it. The state didn’t do it… We are doing it. We should be thanked for what we are doing, and not delegitimized because of this.” jeremy scahill | Ibrahim Al Moussawi

Our goal is to protect our people, not to occupy Lebanese territory. But to prevent this from happening again, the council must ensure the right mechanisms are in place for the Lebanese Army and UNIFIL meets their obligations. I wish to address the Lebanese representative, mister Rasham. I have listened to your words and condemnations very carefully. But the truth is you should be sitting next to me, not next to the Iranian representative. Because whether you can admit it or not, Israel, Lebanon, and the free world are on the same side against the Islamic regime of Iran. All of us should declare, shoulder to shoulder, that Iran must keep its blood stained hands off Lebanon. And I would like to to approach the the Lebanese people. I will do it in Arabic. Lebanon belongs to the Lebanese, not to the Iranians.”

🚩Fouad Makhzoumi’s position is bigger than a peace line He is separating Lebanon’s national interest from the Palestinian file because that linkage became the mechanism through which Hezbollah imports war, assigns the bill to Beirut, and then moralizes the wreckage as “resistance”. 🚩A Beiruti Sunni leader saying this publicly matters because it breaks the veto that has governed Lebanon for decades: before Lebanon may protect itself, it must first wait for every unresolved regional cause to be settled. The historical anchor is not the Abraham Accords alone. It is 1949. Lebanon and Israel signed an armistice at Ras en Naqoura on March 23, 1949, before any Arab peace initiative, and long before Hezbollah existed to confiscate the border in Iran’s name. So Makhzoumi is not inventing a taboo. He is restoring a Lebanese state precedent. The Trump offer now on the table changes the clock. Washington has moved the file from moral hesitation to political choice: either Lebanon takes the only offer backed by the only power able to enforce it, or Hezbollah keeps the country trapped inside Iran’s war calendar. Peace is not sentimental here. It is strategic insulation. It removes Lebanon from the firing map, returns war and peace to the state, and forces Hezbollah to explain why Lebanese children must keep paying for wars no Lebanese state declared.
