Israel has conveyed a message to Amos Hochstein, the special envoy of U.S. President Joe Biden, during his recent visit to the country.
According to the message, Israel is interested in the success of its diplomatic efforts, but if they fail, it will be committed to taking military action to push Hezbollah away from southern Lebanon.
Israel has clarified that without the removal of Hezbollah, residents of the north will refuse to return to their homes.
Israel is not optimistic about the diplomatic process but is attempting to follow it through to the end, primarily to gain legitimacy in case military action is necessary in the north.
Israel has not ruled out an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities in the coming months despite President Donald Trump telling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the U.S. was for now unwilling to support such a move, according to an Israeli official and two other people familiar with the matter.
In a defiant speech on Friday evening, Hezbollah’s Secretary-General, Sheikh Naim Qassem, insisted that the group “will not allow anyone to disarm it,” rejecting growing internal calls for the Lebanese state to reclaim exclusive control over the country’s weapons.
A recent Maariv poll reveals significant shifts in Israel’s political landscape, suggesting the potential emergence of a center-right or national-liberal coalition.
