Unfortunately, there still are areas where the LAF, despite the foreign and the Western and even American financial support,
that they've gotten over the years, they still are fearful of going in and disarming Hezbollah.
Now, that's not necessarily what this calls for, because previous political agreements and UN resolutions have called for that, ultimately to have the Israelis be the only one who can militarily do this.
What the Lebanese state, which is, again, also weak, fears, but since the past few years has been at least willing to politically and publicly call out Hezbollah, is it fears the resumption of civil war.
And that's one reason why the LAF can't and perhaps won't.
won't do this but why this agreement is important is that shows that the islamic republic diplomatically will not have free reign and will diplomatically not lean on america to lean on israel to lean out of lebanon it actually is the us kind of writing israel back into the script so it's kind of an american version of even steven you got the mou where you thought you had the regional ceasefire now we're going to get this bilateral agreement that kind of writes the israelis back in
And then it goes to the Lebanese.
It goes to the hopeful folks who say, hey, if you do think that the LAF is this kind of actor, let's begin with pilot zones.
This is something that people have talked about for a long time because the Israelis occupy a certain part of the southern portion of that country.
Why don't we begin with pilot zones where there's phase withdrawals and phase takeovers?
And if those areas are secure and Hezbollah doesn't cause a problem there, well, then we have a roadmap of how to replicate Hezbollah.
phase withdrawal, phase takeover, and to deal with the Hezbollah threat in that area.
I would say it's a win-win because one, what makes it different is it nullifies an Iranian diplomatic play.
I see the Iranians coming out on top diplomatically in the MOU because of the hand-tying, because of the linkage of Lebanon to the Strait of Hormuz crisis.
I see this as de-linkage and freeing up Israeli hands.
So that is my even, Stephen.
At least diplomatically on paper, the Iranians got a win there.
Now here's where we get the American win, we get the Israeli win.
Second is you're absolutely right.
The history shows that this is probably not going to work out because of the resolve of the actors on the ground.
