An Eastern diplomatic delegation recently visited southern Lebanon, met with officials, and evaluated the situation in the region.
The delegation assessed that the conflict in Lebanon is ongoing, persistent, and likely to continue for an extended period.
This conclusion was drawn from Israel’s actions and its strategy to devastate the south while enforcing Resolution 1701 through military means, according to one of the delegation members.
The delegation submitted a report to their government, indicating that the war would endure as long as Israel had not achieved its objectives of securing the south and stabilizing its northern front.
Diplomatic circles have ruled out any possibility of a truce until security is restored in the south and settlers can return. Although there was speculation that settlers might return by September, the conditions remained unmet, forcing them to stay in place. This situation puts pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, who had promised their return by then and is now uncertain about how to address the issue.
