A detailed analysis from a Lebanese perspective argues the current ceasefire is a temporary and dangerous pause, not a path to lasting peace. The source claims the ceasefire's terms connect a permanent end to the war with a comprehensive peace deal, normalization with Israel, and the demilitarization of south Lebanon, allowing only a lightly armed Lebanese army presence. The analysis asserts the ceasefire only occurred due to U.S.-Iran talks and that the U.S. and Israel are now attempting to separate Lebanon from Iran's influence, which would strategically weaken Hezbollah. It concludes that this diplomatic maneuvering could leave Hezbollah isolated, facing pressure from both the Lebanese state and Israel.
