  1. The strongest part of the axis of resistance was always supposed to be Hezbollah. They had a huge combat-trained and experience ground force, they had SAMs and antiship missiles. In the event of war they were supposed to drop ten thousand rockets on all the infrastructure in Israel.

    We’re about 8 months after the pager bombs and they’ve effectively collapsed to the point where they cannot prevent the president of Lebanon from publicly pledging action against them. I genuinely cannot believe it.

  2. It is well known that Mahmoud Abbas is a puppet under the Israeli regime. Any decision he makes, it’s for his personal benefit rather than the Palestinian cause.

  3. Lebanon has been attacking Israel for over 70 years. In 1948, they joined the Arab armies and invaded Israel. Then they established the “Fatahland” in the 1960s and enabled the PLO to attack Israel. Laster, Hisbollah, a faction of the Lebanese government, was allowed to continue attacking. We’ll see if this time, it will be different.

  4. The article might as well say “nothing new, existing positions remain the same”. 

    The way the article is framed is downright deceptive, because it implies that the Palestinians are unified – which is not the case, thanks to Israeli policy of funding extremist Palestinian movements like Hamas. 

    If the Lebanese government and the Palestinian Fatah movement are the only ones agreeing to this, it doesn’t have a lot of impact- because the Fatah movement is already at peace with Israel. 

    This is about as pointless as articles that claimed “progress in Hamas negotiations” by claiming that American and Israeli negotiating teams coming to an agreement was consequential in any meaningful way. 

    Unless Abbas has got Hamas to agree to disarm -which is highly unlikely to ever happen and I have seen no evidence of- then it doesn’t matter what Abbas and the Lebanese government agree to, because neither of them was attacking Israel.
