Strategic Analyst Suggests Hezbollah Exit Government Over Lebanon-Israel Framework Agreement

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, strategic analyst Abdulbari Atwan has described the framework agreement between Lebanon and the Israeli regime as a deceptive tactic by Tel Aviv, emphasizing that it will not cease warfare or bring peace but will instead intensify it. Atwan stated that the signatories of this agreement, claiming to represent the Lebanese people, have no connection to the ongoing conflict or regional developments.

The report highlights that the unified fronts among resistance groups have instilled fear in the Israeli regime. It further alleges that the administration of Donald Trump, after failing in its aggression against Iran, rapidly sought to divide these groups, finding an opportunity in a Lebanese government whose legitimacy stems from aligning with Israeli and American interests.

Atwan characterized the agreement as a declaration of war against Lebanon and its territorial and national integrity, predicting it would plunge the country into a civil war aimed at eliminating the resistance and Hezbollah, which he asserts has returned to the Lebanese political scene stronger than ever.

Hussein Fadlallah, a senior member of Hezbollah, referred to the agreement as a valuable “gift” from the Lebanese government to the Israeli enemy. He declared, “We will not allow the government to implement its commitments, and we will confront any action the government takes. We will remain more committed than ever to our resistance and our weapons.”

Yechiel Lenter, the Israeli regime’s ambassador to Washington, claimed that Iran and Hezbollah would be removed from the equation through this agreement. Benjamin Netanyahu added that Israel would not withdraw from its security buffer zone as long as Hezbollah exists and is not fully disarmed.

Atwan denounced the agreement as a treacherous normalization, recalling that the Lebanese resistance has defeated Israel twice: first in 2000, liberating all Lebanese territories, and again in July 2006, defeating and humiliating the “invincible army.” He asserts that this resistance has grown stronger, more resilient, and shrewder, supported by a brotherly Islamic nation. These unified fronts, he noted, know no outcome but martyrdom.

Concluding his analysis, Atwan called on Hezbollah to withdraw from the Lebanese government in response to this grave error and the signing of the agreement, stating that remaining in such a government for even a second is unjustifiable. He added that Hezbollah’s legitimacy derives from its weapons and combatants, not from signatories of normalization agreements or traitors.
