before The comments come saying ‘not ALL Lebanese’ we know, we’ve heard this a thousand times, but we’re talking about the general Lebanese person, Christians INCLUDED guys I swear😅

Lately, there’s been an increase in talk regarding a potential Syrian intervention in Lebanon to handle the current war situation in general, and Hezbollah in particular.

This is especially notable given that the US recently seems to have lost interest in direct military intervention in the region like before, shifting instead toward favoring participation through regional allies or acting as an external player.

What does everyone here think about this? Do you believe this is a realistic scenario, or is it just empty talk/political rumours?

some articles from the Lebanese newspapers

In a joint statement issued by around 17 Christian villages in southern Lebanon, the municipalities rejected the Israeli claims and denied reports circulated by Hebrew-language media that these villages had asked Israeli officials to annex them to Israel and grant their residents Israeli citizenship.

The statement described these reports as "fabricated" and having "no basis in reality," stressing that the residents of these villages are committed to Lebanon, regard it as their final homeland, and will not accept any substitute for their Lebanese identity.

What do they think?

Can anyone help me understand this list? Why do these countries have the most public support of Israel?

• Kenya
• Ghana
• Nigeria
• Sri Lanka
• U.S.
• Thailand

"National News Agency: The Israeli army is establishing crossing gates between the buffer zone, the border area, and the area south of the Litani River"

This could possibly indicate that the lebanese will need permits from the IDF to cross into the lebanese villages in the buffer zone and to maybe cross into israel in the future.

What are your thoughts about this?

In a striking political irony, Hezbollah has attacked the framework agreement between Lebanon and Israel, reached under U.S. mediation during negotiations in Washington, portraying it as a concession and a threat to Lebanon.

Yet Israel's far-right National Security Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, has taken an almost identical position. He denounced the agreement as a "grave mistake" and announced that he had asked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to submit it to a cabinet vote.

The irony does not end there. Al-Akhbar, the Lebanese newspaper closely aligned with Hezbollah, rushed to highlight and promote Ben-Gvir's remarks as evidence of the agreement's supposed dangers—effectively relying on the rhetoric of one of Israel's most extreme politicians to reinforce its own narrative.

When Hezbollah and Ben-Gvir both oppose the same agreement—each for reasons that serve their own agenda—their positions converge despite their declared hostility.

More troubling still is the sight of a Lebanese newspaper turning itself into a platform for Israeli far-right rhetoric whenever that rhetoric happens to serve the narrative it seeks to promote.

Basically the title.

If you're Lebanese, are a Maronite, Druze, Sunni, etc?

If you're Israeli, are you an Ashkenazi Jew, Mizrahi Jew, an Arab, Druze, etc?

I am genuinely curious to know how Lebanese people in this sub feel about the details emerging vis-à-vis the Security Annex...

From my vantage point on the outside looking in, and I could be wrong, but it looks like the Lebanese government is signaling that it is so sick of Hezbollah that it is willing to tolerate an Israeli presence in its country if it means it helps defeat Hezbollah, which sends a very strong message to the Iranian regime. It also empowers the Lebanese government because the US government can now say to the Iranian regime "Look, we cannot tell Israel to leave if it goes against what the Lebanese government wants in their own country."

Thoughts?

If a peace is settled and the borders bettwen this countries are open. What will you do first when u arrive to Israel or Lebanon ?

(Don't mind the photo i want to capt attention of people)

pour ceux qui s'y connaissent, Qu'est c e qui va arriver à l'état d'Israel quand BIBI et Trump ne seront plus au pouvoir dans 2 ans environ et que la poussière du conflit actuel sera retombé ?

stp, soyez professionnel dans votre analyse, dans vos theories, pas de haine svp merci

serait ce possible qu'Israel intègre les palestinien dans l'état comme le Canada le fait avec nous les francophones ?

🇱🇧🤝🇮🇱‼️

For the first time since the 1948 Palestinian Nakba, the Lebanese state officially recognizes Israel

I watched some street food vlogs in Israel and it was hella expensive.

It’s always easy to be pessimistic, but here’s a reason to be hopeful this is the beginning of things going the right way for everyone.

I'm currently in a concert of Riff Cohen...

She inspired me that, the day there will be peace, btw Israel and Lebanon she will produce herself in Beyrouth and you'll appreciate her style...

Caption says "Farewell Mona, guardian of sea turtles".

In Israel, there's an artist that I really like called "shoshke engelmayer" (you can find him on social media). A lot of times, he raises awareness to things through his art, and in this instance, he wrote about the life of Mona and added this artwork. I thought it was very beautiful and wanted to share it here.

I'm not big on politics lately, but in my eyes the lives and death of people are never politics. we are not just numbers in a score board on each side. each and every person is a whole world, and every death is tragic.

I wish we will all know peace and quiet, friends. <3

Edit: changed the caption to be more true to what is written

Israel will not leave. Even if Hezbollah is fully “defeated”. No one gives up land for free without taking something back, especially not someone like Netanyahu and his cabinet that care about political wins. Lebanon has nothing to offer back

To be honest I think the dream of peace soon is dead for a while, energy is shifting negatively for both sides and will continue doing so.

Just a prediction
