What鈥檚 next for Israel and Lebanon
Clayton Collins
Director of Innovation
Today, Scott Peterson, our Middle East bureau chief, explores Lebanese perspectives on the tenuous truce between Lebanon and Israel. (Last week, Shoshanna Solomon wrote about mixed Israeli perceptions of the ceasefire.) Israeli strikes on Beirut earlier this month raised the stakes in the decades-old conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, the Lebanon-based Shiite Muslim group that is a powerful Iranian proxy in the region.
鈥淗ezbollah is still the big story,鈥� says Mideast editor Ken Kaplan, on the focus during the U.S.-brokered pause. 鈥淚f there鈥檚 anything for Israel and the government in Beirut to talk about, it鈥檚 how to disarm Hezbollah.鈥� That means sizing up the group鈥檚 residual power 鈥� military, political 鈥� and assessing a government鈥檚 independence in the face of it. Scott heads to Lebanon next to report further, from on the ground.
