The willingness of the current government to compromise on almost all demands during talks on maritime border agreement could signal to Hezbollah that Israel is prepared to avoid conflict at all cost.
My experience leads me to believe that Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah will not change the policy he’s been enacting vis-à-vis Israel for the past 16 years. He won’t rush to make daring moves that might spell disaster for Lebanon, his organization, and himself personally.
Unfortunately, this balance is in danger of being tipped over due to the current Israeli government’s undecisive actions on the maritime border deal. If Nasrallah interprets it as Israel panicking over a possible confrontation on the northern front, he would likely rethink his policy of restraint.
