"The length of the ceasefire depends on what happens in Lebanon," Netanyahu said during his remarks on Tuesday. "We will enforce the agreement and respond forcefully to any violation. We will continue united until victory."
He offered three main reasons for seeking a ceasefire agreement, the first being to "focus on the Iranian threat," the second to "give our forces a breather and replenish stocks" and the third, to "separate the fronts and isolate Hamas."
Hezbollah is correct.
ReplyDeleteEveryone assumes that Hezbollah lost because they were driven out of southern Lebanon and lost most of their weaponry and infrastructure.
Here's what everyone forgets: the two sides had different definitions of victory. For Israel, it's "Hezbollah is destroyed and never again threatens us." For Hezbollah it's "We make Israel miserable and survive their attack to fight again another day." Hezbollah won.
