Israel - Lebanon 23.03.2025
Ex-Trump official: Lebanon is happy Israel is striking Hezbollah
David Schenker, who was the US Assistant Secretary of State for Middle East Affairs during Trump's first term (and knows Lebanon in depth):
The Lebanese government would rather Israel continue its actions against Hezbollah than Lebanon having to do it itself.
The US administration is pleasantly surprised by the way things are going in Lebanon and the implementation of Resolution 1701.
The "Shebaa Farms" where Hezbollah was exploited to justify the conflict with Israel are actually Syrian territory and not Lebanese, a fact that has been said many times and is clearly verified by the UN itself.
