Biden’s ‘Permanent’ Lebanon Ceasefire Already Fell Apart
By Jihad Watch
The ceasefire lasted approximately 4 days.
Lucy and the football.
Ceasefires with terrorists always play out the same way. An elaborate series of understandings are reached through an extended process of negotiations.
The terrorists start violating them within 24 hours.
If Israel is involved, the world immediately blames Israel.
Biden’s Lebanon ceasefire lasted approximately 4 days. During that time, Hezbollah began advancing back to its old positions, setting up rocket launchers, fortifying and preparing to launch new attacks. All in violation of the ceasefire. Israel responded by taking out the incoming forces and Hezbollah is back to firing rockets into Israel.
So much for the ceasefire.
The first part played out in predictable fashion (anyone who thought Islamic terrorists would honor a ceasefire is either hopelessly ignorant or naive) and so is the second part. Israel argues that it’s acting within the terms of the ceasefire. Israeli negotiators ensured that Israel would have the right to act against Hezbollah forces operating south of the Litani river unilaterally. That was the basis on which the Israeli cabinet approved the ceasefire.
The problem is nobody cares.
Every single agreement that Israel has signed with Arab Muslim enemies were violated with the complicity of the ‘international bodies’ that were tasked with implementing them. That began with Israel’s War of Independence when the Jordanian and Egyptian forces were allowed to continue attacking Israeli civilians in Jerusalem and near the Gaza border while any Israeli response was immediately condemned as a war crime.
75 years later nothing has changed.
The Biden administration and France’s Macron have warned Israel to stop unilaterally attacking Hezbollah and to take complaints about ceasefire violations to an international committee that will do nothing except warn Hezbollah that it’s been spotted.
Meanwhile, the ceasefire is back to being an exchange of fire.
