Now that there are two ceasefires in effect throughout the Middle East, is it time for two significant developments? Both the ceasefires in Iran and Lebanon are characterized as “shaky” (as ceasefires normally are), yet this is a moment full of opportunity as the cacophony of war subsides once more. and danger.
The establishment of a 10-day ceasefire between Israel and the Iranian-backed group Hezbollah on Thursday night appears to be a victory for Iran. The Tehrani leadership has called for a truce in Lebanon, claiming that without it, negotiations with the United States could not be expected to advance.
Even as the conflict in Lebanon persisted (with Israel only averting further attacks on Beirut), as demonstrated by last weekend’s lengthy diplomatic session in Islamabad, progress was indeed achievable. However, Lebanon had to be included, according to both Iran and Pakistan.
That has now occurred, much to the ire of Israelis near the northern border who feel that instead of ensuring that Hezbollah never launches another rocket at their nation, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has given in to American pressure. Some Israelis believe that the truce gives Iran complete control over how things unfold.
