The Intelligence from The Economist · Missing peace: will Israel imperil Iran deal? · 24 Jun 2026 podcast

It's the ceasefire that Donald Trump and the Iranians have been trying to impose on Israel in Lebanon.

So the backdrop to everything that's been happening in Lebanon and to our embed there is the talks that were due to start twenty four hours after our visit to Lebanon in the Switzerland between Iran and America reaching a a longer lasting ceasefire.

And Lebanon

Is in a way a sideshow to this.

But for Israelis and for Lebanon, it's very much an immediate conflict.

And Israel went into Lebanon back in March after Hezbollah began firing rockets in support of or in solidarity with Iran after the war began.

And ever since this war has been rumbling on.

And when the Americans and the Iranians reached a deal a week ago.

One of the clauses of the memorandum of understanding was also a ceasefire in Lebanon.

Now, Israel was America's partner in the war, but it wasn't part of the negotiations.

So they had this ceasefire foisted on them.

And the point that they're trying to make now is that there is a real conflict going on in Lebanon with Hezbollah still retaining these significant military capabilities to attack Israel.

Iran now has had its hands tied by its American ally.

The ceasefire is held for the most part now for two or three days.

There was one incident on Tuesday when two Lebanese were killed.

It's obviously a very tense affair and it's hard to see it lasting for long, and it wouldn't be existing now if it wasn't for a very intense American pressure on Israel.

Well I think in this case it's not just Netanyahu.

I think in this case it's the entire Israeli defense establishment.

They're seeing Hezbollah rebuilding its military capabilities in South Lebanon close to the Israeli border.

They're seeing the drones being used.
