Will Lebanon become the Middle East’s Riviera or a second Gaza?

What are the chances of incorporating the new Syria into Lebanon’s plan? And where is “Hezbollah”?

The upcoming round of Lebanese-Israeli negotiations, which will take place in Washington on Thursday and Friday under the supervision of the US State Department, will be the most dangerous, as the goal is not to reach a peace agreement between the Lebanese (official) and Israeli sides but rather a military alliance that will place Lebanon under permanent Israeli control.

We expect more, and we believe that the first participation of military delegates from the Lebanese and Israeli militaries in these negotiations represents a threat. The “official” purpose is to discuss maps and field procedures for extending the ceasefire. However, the “unofficial” goal, according to yesterday’s Israeli Broadcasting Authority report, is to form joint “working groups” to oversee and implement the plan to disarm and dismantle “Hezbollah”, in addition to discussing the maps and steps involved in redrawing the two countries’ borders.

The US State Department, which is hosting these negotiations, confirmed what we just said through its spokesperson, stating, “These negotiations aim to establish a framework for arrangements for long-term peace and security, the full restoration of Lebanon’s sovereignty over its territory, border demarcation, and the creation of practical pathways for providing aid and reconstruction.” This comprehensive peace is contingent on the Lebanese authorities regaining full control of their land and the complete disposal of Hezbollah’s weaponry.”

What confirms this hypothesis, namely the joint Lebanese-Israeli plan to work together to disarm Hezbollah and eliminate its military and political presence on Lebanese territory, is that the Israeli military delegation is led by General Amihai Lichtenstein, head of the Israeli army’s strategic division, who is the architect of the military field plans to eradicate Hezbollah and uproot it from the Lebanese arena.

Mr. Nawaf Salam, the Lebanese Prime Minister, began his visit to Damascus today as part of the American-Israeli plan to disarm Hezbollah, the leader of the Lebanese Islamic resistance, and to attempt to mobilise the Syrian army to participate operationally in this scheme alongside the Lebanese and Israeli armies. This entails not only blocking gaps in the Lebanese-Syrian border to prevent weapons from being smuggled from Iran to Hezbollah, but also targeting both known and secret border crossings.

Mr Nawaf Salam is one of the most passionate figures in Lebanese authorities regarding efforts to eradicate the Islamic resistance in Lebanon, with the goal of not only integrating Lebanon into the Abrahamic Peace Initiative but also forming a full alliance with the occupying power across all areas. This includes implementing the “Trump-Kushner plan” to transform Lebanon into the Middle East’s Riviera, which was not implemented in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli forceful bombings in Lebanon daily are a repeat of the devastating model used in the Gaza Strip following the “Al-Aqsa Flood” attack on October 7, 2023.

The rejection of “Hezbollah” and its Lebanese national popular base is the most powerful and consistent weapon for ensuring the collapse of this Zionist-American-Israeli strategy in Lebanon, which seeks to transform it into a large Israeli settlement and remove it from its Arab and Islamic surroundings. The party has not only recovered from the assassination plot against its leadership, but it has also reorganised its internal structure, updated and expanded its military circle, reinforced it with very modern missiles and drones, gone underground, and chosen young military and intelligence leaders who have graduated from the most important friendly military academies in China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran.

More importantly, the party’s leadership and popular base have stood up to Israeli provocations and violations of the ceasefire over 8,000 times since November 2024 to complete military preparations for the current major confrontation and return with strength and full military readiness.

Please send the content for translation. “Hezbollah” misled both Israel and its loyal Lebanese forces through strategic silence. This long-held and reiterated conclusion of ours has been validated by Nahum Barnea, a senior political and military commentator of the Israeli newspaper “Yedioth Ahronoth”, in a piece published today. He stated, “Israeli intelligence misjudged Hezbollah’s renewed and recovering strength.”

The “suicidal explosive” and phantom drones devised by the enormous Lebanese military minds, outfitted with fibre optics, have become an existential fear for the Israeli occupation state and its settlers in Galilee, Haifa, and Tel Aviv. They have once again demolished the myth of the Merkava tank, catching Israeli soldiers like birds from low altitudes. We advise the Lebanese and Israeli authorities, as well as their American patrons, that Hezbollah’s weapons exist and are evolving and that any attempts to dismantle it will fail. Its return to the battlefield continues and remains long-term, and no more ceasefires will be accepted until it achieves complete victory. Time cannot be reversed.
