Burdur'da rutin uygulama yapıldığı esnada karşı yönde bulunan bir sürücü yolunu değiştirip uygulama noktasına polislere selam vermeye geldi. Durumundan şüphelenen polisin alkolmetre çıkardığını gören sürücü "Benim nezaketime böyle mi yapıyorsun" dedi. Uzun uğraşlar sonucu alkometreyi üfleyen sürücü 3.28 promil alkollü çıktı. Olay, gece saatlerinde Burdur - Fethiye Kara yolunda bulunan uygulama noktasında meydana geldi. Edinilen bilgiye göre, Cengiz Y. 06 BM 5435 plakalı otomobili ile uygulama yapan polis ekiplerine selam vermek için karşı yönden gelip uygulama noktasının arkasında durdu. Polis ekiplerinin yanına gelen sürücünün hareketlerinden şüphelenen polis ekipleri ilk olarak kimliği istedi. Daha sonrasında ise sürücüye alkol testi yapmak isterken sürücü uzun süre kendisinin sadece kolluk kuvvetlerine yardım etmek için geldiğini söyleyerek alkolmetreye üflemeyi reddetti. "Benim nezaketime böyle mi yapıyorsun. Sadece gelip kolay gelsin diyecektim nezakaten" diyen sürücü, alkollü olduğunu kabul etti, ancak yine alkolmetreyi üflememeye direndi. Gazeteci ve polislerin tıraşına da laf atan Yasal sınırdan 6 kat fazla alkollü çıktı Polis ekiplerine zor anlar yaşatan sürücü, bir süre sonra alkolmetreye üflerken polis ekipleri tarafından sürücünün 3.28 promil alkollü olduğunu tespit edildi.

OFAC’tan Terör ve Uyuşturucu Odaklı Kapsamlı Yaptırım HamlesiGenel Merkez’in umudu ‘gizli’ destekçiler
Mehtap Gökdemir - CHP Genel Merkezi olağanüstü kurultay için henüz resmi yanıtını vermedi. Eylül ayının ilk haftasından başlayarak olağan kongre süreci için harekete geçileceği, Genel Başkan Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu ve kurmaylarının “zamana oynama” taktiği uygulayıp Özel cephesinde çözülmeyi hedeflediği öğrenildi. ‘Vekil sayısı artıyor’ TBMM Grubu içindeki desteğini koruması açısından geçen zamanın Özel’in aleyhine işlediğini savunan Genel Merkez kaynakları, karşı tarafta çözülmenin başladığını, yeni partiyle ilgili sürecin bu nedenle akamete uğradığını düşünüyor. Kılıçdaroğlu kurmayları, son dönemde Genel Merkez’i ziyaret eden veya Kılıçdaroğlu ile telefon yoluyla irtibat kuran vekil sayısının arttığını iddia ettiler. Kurmaylar, Özel kanadındaki milletvekili desteğinin 60’ın altına düştüğünü, Özelci görünen 20’ye yakın vekilin Genel Merkez’i ziyaret ettiğini öne sürdü. Zoraki tokalaşma Kurmaylar, cenazede Kılıçdaroğlu ile Özel arasında gerçekleşen ilk tokalaşmaya yönelik de, “Zoraki bir bir araya gelme. Yapılması gereken tokalaşılmasıydı” dedi. Grup yerine MYK Öte yandan TBMM’de henüz kendisine oda tahsisi yapılmayan Kılıçdaroğlu’nun önümüzdeki salı günü de grup toplantısı yapmayı düşünmediği öğrenildi. Kılıçdaroğlu grup toplantısı yerine MYK’sını toplayacak. MYK’dan örgüt düzeyinde yeni ihraç kararlarının çıkabileceği belirtiliyor. ‘Arınma’ ekibi işbaşı yaptı Kılıçdaroğlu’nun “arınma” söylemi çerçevesinde yerel yönetimlere yönelik yolsuzluk iddiaları için oluşturulmasına karar verilen ekibin geçen hafta çalışmalarına başladığı öğrenildi. Edinilen bilgiye göre, avukat, denetim elemanı gibi teknik isimlerin görevlendirildiği ekip, ilk etapta soruşturma yürütülen, davası süren belediyeleri mercek altına alacak. İlgili iddianameler incelenecek. Tutuklu belediye başkanlarının durumu yakından takip edilecek. ‘Binaları bıraktık, yürüyoruz’ Diyarbakır’a gerçekleştirdiği ziyarette konuşan Özel, butlan kararı sonrası 12 şehir gezdiklerini belirterek, “Partimizin iradesine atanan bir kayyımdan sonra binaları geride bıraktık, yürüyoruz” dedi CHP Grup Başkanı Özgür Özel, dün çeşitli temaslarda bulunmak üzere gittiği Diyarbakır’da davul zurna ve zılgıtlarla karşılandı. Özel, cuma namazını Sur ilçesindeki tarihi Ulu Cami’de kıldı. Özel, namazın ardından esnaf ziyareti yaptı, 2015 yılında Dört Ayaklı Minare önünde yaptığı basın açıklaması sırasında teröristler ile güvenlik güçleri arasında çıkan çatışmada vurularak yaşamını yitiren eski Baro Başkanı Tahir Elçi’nin anısına, olayın yaşandığı noktaya karanfil bıraktı. Barış elçisi Burada açıklamalarda bulunan Özel, Tahir Elçi’nin barış elçisi olduğunu ifade ederek, “Diyarbakır’da barış kalıcı olarak sağlandığında, Tahir Elçi huzurlu şekilde uyuyacak” dedi. Özel konuşmasına şöyle devam etti: Demirtaş’a selam “Güne bugün burada olacağımızı bilen, dün akşam saatlerinde avukatını çağırarak bize selam yollayan Selahattin Demirtaş’ın selamıyla başladık. Demirtaş’ın selamları bütün Diyarbakır adına, bütün bölge halkı adına, bütün Kürtler adına başımızın gözümüzün üstünedir. Kendisine selam olsun. Butlan kararı çıktıktan beri, yani biz 12’nci kattan ayrıldıktan beri 12 şehir gezdik. Şimdi Diyarbakır’dayız. Diyarbakır, iradesine defalarca kayyım atanmış, kayyımdan çok çekmiş bir kenttir. Kayyımlara karşı en net duran kenttir ve bugün partimizin iradesine atanan bir kayyımdan sonra binaları geride bıraktık, yürüyoruz. ‘Önemli olan doğru yolda olmak’ Yürürken Türkiye’nin dört bir yanında bizi sevenlerle, bizimle yürüyenlerle, arkamıza geçenler, ‘Sen yürü, biz de senle beraber yürüyoruz’ diyenlerle yürüyoruz. Gördüğümüzle de sohbet ediyoruz, yolu soruyoruz. Herkes şundan emin olsun ki yol cümleden uludur. Yol, cümlemizden uludur. Yol yolcudan da uludur. Önemli olan doğru yolda olmaktır.” Doku’nun ailesine ziyaret CHP Grup Başkanı Özgür Özel, yaklaşık 6 yıl önce Tunceli’de kaybolan ve kendisinden bir daha haber alınamayan üniversite öğrencisi Gülistan Doku’nun Diyarbakır’da yaşayan ailesini evlerinde ziyaret etti. Özel, Bismil’de de buğday hasadı programına katılarak bir süre biçerdöver kullandı. CHP’nin oy oranı yüzde 6 düştü “Mutlak butlan” kararı sonrası genel merkez, vatandaşın tepkisini ölçen anketler yaptırdı. Parti kurmaylarının aktardığına göre, bu süreçte CHP yüzde 6’ya yakın bir oy kaybına uğradı. Genel Merkez kurmayları, anketlerin kararın hemen sonrasında “sıcağı sıcağına” yapıldığına işaret ederek, “Aslında sonuçlar beklediğimizden iyi geldi. İlerleyen süreçte CHP’nin oy oranının yükselişe geçeceğini düşünüyoruz” değerlendirmesini yaptılar. Öğrencilere karne tebriği CHP Genel Başkanı Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, karne alan öğrencileri kutladı. Kılıçdaroğlu, sosyal medya hesabından yaptığı paylaşımda, “Karne heyecanı yaşayan tüm evlatlarımızı yürekten kutluyorum. Her çocuğun eşit, nitelikli ve çağdaş eğitim hakkına kavuştuğu; hiçbir evladımızın yoksulluk nedeniyle geride kalmadığı bir Türkiye’yi hep birlikte kuracağız” ifadelerini kullandı.
Can mediators save the Iran deal despite the Lebanon poison pill?
On June 18, Iran and the U.S. signed an agreement, titled the “Islamabad Memorandum,” which committed both countries to an immediate and permanent end to hostilities, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and 60 days of negotiations to reach a final agreement. Within 48 hours, Iran had closed the strait again. The reason was neither the failure of nuclear negotiations (which hadn’t yet commenced) nor a dispute over sanctions relief. It was Lebanon, a country that appears in the deal’s opening clause three times. The Lebanese government was not a party to the negotiations, nor was it consulted. What the Lebanon standoff reveals is that the Islamabad Memorandum was designed to solve American problems without resolving the structural deadlocks that keep Lebanon at war. If fully implemented, the Islamabad Memorandum would be the most consequential diplomatic instrument produced in the Middle East in years. But its Lebanon provisions are irreconcilable on their face because the parties whose behavior in Lebanon actually matters (Israel, Iran, Hezbollah and Lebanon’s executive) hold interests that cannot be simultaneously reconciled. What has kept the deal alive in its chaotic first week has been the sheer energy of its mediators. Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, praised Qatar and Pakistan for their “tireless” mediation. The meetings reportedly spanned 18 hours of talks at a lakeside resort in Bürgenstock, Switzerland. Despite a major hiccup, during which Iran’s negotiating team reportedly left the building after a threat by President Donald Trump to “hit Iran very hard again,” talks did not collapse. By Monday, Pakistan and Qatar announced a “de-confliction cell” for Lebanon, to ensure events in Lebanon don’t collapse talks between the U.S. and Iran. Iran’s top diplomat called the Lebanon cell the deal’s “first real test,” which is an apt description of the challenge that lies therein. The mediators have not resolved Lebanon’s contradiction, though they have, for now, built a structure to manage it and hopefully prevent it from threatening to unravel the entire agreement. Article One of the Islamabad Memorandum requires “ensuring the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Lebanon.” This means that Israeli forces must leave Lebanese soil. Yet Israel, which currently occupies 234 square miles of the country's south, shows no intention of doing so. Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said Israeli forces will stay “as long as we need to protect our people.” Iran insists a continued Israeli presence violates the agreement. Over the last few days, the gap widened further: Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir urged Netanyahu to tell Trump “we cannot fulfill this agreement,” declaring that Lebanon should be “Israel’s playground.” Washington’s ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, floated the idea of deporting all of Hezbollah’s members to “the ‘mothership’ in Iran,” while the Lebanese government position is that Israel’s withdrawal would enable the Lebanese state to “extend its authority...and eliminate any justification for the persistence of weapons.” All parties with a stake in Lebanon hold irreconcilable positions, and Israel, the party doing the occupying, is not even at the table with the U.S. and Iran. President Trump has claimed this doesn’t matter, arguing that “they have a lot of respect for me, and they do as I say.” But the Israeli response, articulated by its finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, has been to promise a presence in Lebanon for years, regardless of American demands. Underneath the recent geopolitical wrangling, the internal deadlock in Lebanon is also unchanged. Hezbollah will not discuss disarmament while Lebanese territory is occupied; the group’s leader, Naim Qassem, rejected Israel’s occupation outright and called the Islamabad Memorandum a “great victory” for Iran. The Lebanese executive, led by President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, has pledged to bring all weapons under state control without possessing the means or political consensus to do so. Hezbollah remains a formidable parliamentary force, and Speaker of the Parliament Nabih Berri is a crucial ally who is structurally positioned to prevent any disarmament framework from advancing. The possibility that Tehran will direct funds to Hezbollah once sanctions are relaxed is also real. Over the past year, Iran has reportedly engineered new channels to funnel money to Hezbollah. Washington says funds must not reach the designated terrorist organization, and, defending the agreement, Vice President JD Vance told reporters that “we actually know where the money’s going to move…and we’re going to be able to see if they try to fund terrorist organizations.” Just last week, the U.S. Treasury sanctioned Hezbollah official Mahmoud Qamati for coordinating cash smuggling from Iran to Hezbollah. Despite these measures and crippling sanctions, Iran moved $1 billion to Hezbollah in the first ten months of 2025 alone, according to the U.S. Treasury Department, which used the claim to slap on more sanctions in November of last year. A deal that relaxes those sanctions is unlikely to defund Iran’s most potent regional assets. If the money flows, Hezbollah could recover, with its weapons intact, and its internal position strengthened by the very diplomacy meant to constrain it. Against this, the West’s capacity-building offer to the Lebanese state remains thin relative to the timeline. Washington is mediating historic bilateral talks between Israel in Lebanon, with another round in Washington set for this week. On top of that, it is leading plans to boost support and training for the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF). France has also announced that it plans to shore up additional support for the LAF by hosting a conference. All of these efforts aim to make the Lebanese army strong enough to disarm Hezbollah — a proposition that, if ever attempted by force, carries the risk of civil war. These efforts are significant, but the LAF has received only $3 billion in U.S. support in over 20 years. The army has been deliberately kept below the threshold that would make it a genuine counterforce to Hezbollah, in large part due to U.S. law, which requires Washington to ensure arms sales to Middle Eastern countries don’t erode Israel’s "qualitative military edge.” The Lebanese army is the price of that doctrine, and that structural reality, built over decades, is now colliding with the 60-day clock set by the Islamabad Memorandum. What is new, however, is the powerful diplomatic will now backing the deal. Qatar and Pakistan have demonstrated bandwidth and persistence that the U.S., distracted and erratic, has not. Trump spent the last week simultaneously threatening Iran, praising Netanyahu as a “warrior prime minister,” and suggesting Syria might fight Hezbollah (an idea that Syria’s president publicly ruled out). Against this background, the mediators have inserted structure, sequencing and follow-through. A ceasefire in Lebanon between Hezbollah and Israel has held since Saturday. In the days prior, the White House has taken an unusually stern approach with Israel. Trump said he was “not happy with the way Israel has handled themselves with Lebanon.” Vance went further, warning that Trump is “the only head of state in the entire world sympathetic to Israel.” This public break with a historically untouchable ally helped keep the Iranians at the table in Switzerland, producing the next steps for Lebanon (and other files) proudly broadcast by Pakistan and Qatar on Monday. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun spent the day working to consolidate that situation with Vance, White House Envoy Jared Kushner, and Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed Al Thani. For the first time, there is a mechanism designed to absorb the shocks that Lebanon keeps generating. The difference, and the danger, this time is that the framework for ending the war in Lebanon is wired directly into a nuclear negotiation and the global energy supply. Every Israeli strike on Lebanese soil now directly impacts the Strait of Hormuz. The test now is whether two determined mediators can use this opportunity to resolve the irreconcilable interests of Hezbollah, Iran, Israel, and the Lebanese leadership.

JD Vance says US-Iran deal ‘very general’ with many details yet to be negotiated – Middle East crisis live
The US vice-president also said nuclear inspectors would return to Iran as part of the deal with Washington to end the war Full report: Trump declares deal ‘all signed’ as G7 leaders try to tie loose ends Hello and welcome to the Guardian’s continuing coverage of the US-Israel war on Iran ahead of the expected signing of the framework peace deal in a couple of days. America’s memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Iran is “a very general document”, the US vice-president, JD Vance, has said, adding that specifics of the deal will be worked out during further negotiations. With a memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran signed, Trump said the strait of Hormuz “will be completely open” by Friday. A signing ceremony is scheduled to take place on Friday in Geneva, which Trump said he will probably not attend. The deal included a ceasefire in Lebanon but did not provide for a withdrawal of Israeli troops from areas that they occupied. Lebanon’s prime minister Nawaf Salam has said diplomatic efforts with the US are continuing in order to achieve the full withdrawal of Israeli troops from territory in southern Lebanon. However, in his first public address after the deal signing, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israeli forces will also remain in Gaza, Lebanon and Syria “for as long as necessary”. He also announced he would be running for relection. Hezbollah has welcomed the memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran, saying it had resulted in a comprehensive ceasefire across all fronts, including Lebanon. In a written statement, the Tehran-backed militant group warned Israel that it would not accept any attacks that violate Lebanon’s sovereignty or targeted its people. It said Lebanon’s inclusion in the agreement reflected Iran’s commitment to ending the war. Continue reading...

‘Israel violated Lebanon truce nearly 3,500 times’
The wife of a Lebanese army captain, who was killed by Israeli bombardment, salutes as mourners carry her husband’s coffin at his home village in southern Lebanon.—AFP • Woman, child among 12 killed in attacks on Zifta, Tyre • Beirut counts 3,491 Israeli strikes since April 17; fresh bombardment damages Unesco heritage site • Hezbollah denies contact with Trump BEIRUT: An Israeli strike on southern Lebanon killed 12 people on Monday as Lebanese Defence Minister Michel Menassa revealed Israel has carried out nearly 3,500 air strikes since a US-brokered ceasefire took effect in April. The Lebanese health ministry said the dawn raid on the town of Zifta in the Nabatieh district resulted in seven deaths, including a Syrian child and a woman, and wounded eight others. Meanwhile, an Israeli strike on Tyre in southern Lebanon on Monday killed five people and wounded eight, the health ministry said, as Israel said it would continue strikes despite Iranian threats. “An Israeli enemy raid on the city of Tyre, near the Red Cross centre, resulted in five martyrs and eight wounded, four of whom were Red Cross paramedics,” the ministry said in a statement. The continuing violence underscores the fragility of the ceasefire that came into effect on April 17. Nearly 3,500 Israeli attacks During a cabinet meeting on Monday, Menassa said that between April 17 and June 7, Israel conducted 3,491 air strikes, 407 controlled demolitions and six razing operations, flattening entire villages in southernmost Lebanon. PM Nawaf Salam said the escalation has caused additional waves of displacement. More than 1 million people have been displaced and over 3,600 killed since Hezbollah drew Lebanon into the conflict on March 2 with rocket fire at Israel to avenge the US-Israeli killing of Iran’s supreme leader. The heavy bombardment in Tyre also damaged a Unesco World Heritage site. Ali Badawi, the culture ministry’s regional director of archaeological sites for south Lebanon, said Sunday’s bombardment had “the worst impact” on Tyre’s ancient areas since the war began. “The amount of debris and damage at the site is high,” Badawi said. “Some archaeological artefacts were damaged when rubble fell on them, as debris fell over a large area, impacting a large number of elements at the site — columns, capitals, column bases, mosaics.” Tyre’s ruins include Roman baths, a second-century triumphal arch and a hippodrome. Lebanese Culture Minister Ghassan Salame appealed to protect the sites, charging that Israel “does not respect” the Hague Convention on the Protection of Cultural Property. ‘No contact with Trump’ Amid the ongoing conflict, a senior Hezbollah official denied statements from US President Donald Trump suggesting the two sides had communicated. Senior Hezbollah official Mahmud Qomati said in written remarks that “there has been no direct contact between President Trump and Hezbollah officials”. Trump told reporters last Wednesday that “we actually spoke with Hezbollah for the first time, ever,” and later claimed he had a “very good call” with the group through highly placed representatives.

İsrail, Lübnan ateşkesini 3 bin 491 kez ihlal ederek 12 kişiyi öldürdüLebanese PM says Israel has bombed Lebanon nearly 3,500 times during ceasefire
BEIRUT, June 8 (Reuters) - Israel has carried out nearly 3,500 air strikes on Lebanon and hundreds ofcontrolled explosions since the U.S. announced a ceasefire for the country on April 16, Lebanon's Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said on Monday. The U.S.-brokered ceasefire came into effect just after midnight on April 17, with Israeli troops still positioned deep inside southern Lebanon. While it has largely halted air strikes on Beirut and its suburbs, it has failed to halt fighting in southern Lebanon between Israel and Iran-backed armed group Hezbollah.
Lebanon–Israel talks must be given a chance
Lebanon–Israel talks must be given a chance Expert comment thilton.drupal 15 April 2026 Rare direct talks are unlikely to succeed in the long-term without Hezbollah disarming, but they are a welcome opportunity for the Lebanese state to regain its authority in foreign policy and pursue confidence-building measures with Israel. The US hosted direct talks between Lebanon and Israel in Washington this week against the backdrop of Israel’s ongoing strikes targeting Hezbollah in Lebanon. The Lebanese and Israeli ambassadors to the US, along with the US ambassador to Lebanon, met in Washington on Tuesday. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio chaired the meeting, which he hailed as a ‘historic gathering that we hope to build on.’ The State Department said that both sides agreed to ‘launch direct negotiations at a mutually agreed time and venue.’ While significant hurdles remain, most notably the issue of Hezbollah’s disarmament, these talks should be welcomed as an important initial confidence-building measure that lays the ground for much-needed future negotiations. Importantly, this reasserts the Lebanese state’s independence and authority in foreign policy. New cast, same plot? The talks bring back memories of when the two sides met directly and signed a short-lived accord during Lebanon’s 1975-1990 civil war. In 1983, a year after Israel launched an invasion of Lebanon with the aim of expelling Palestinian militants, Lebanese President Amin Gemayel entered into negotiations with Israel. On May 17 of that year, both parties reached an agreement that briefly ended the state of war between the two countries. However, the agreement lasted only a short while due to opposition from Syrian President Hafez Assad and pro-Syrian factions in Lebanon. Today, the threat to Israel from Palestinian militants in Lebanon is gone. So is the Assad regime. But Hezbollah remains a formidable security challenge to Israel. This is despite the group having been severely weakened over the past two years due to Israel decapitating its leadership, penetrating its ranks and degrading much of its military capacity. But Israel cannot simply oust Hezbollah – a Lebanese party with Lebanese fighters, parliamentarians, ministers and supporters – from Lebanon like it did with the Palestine Liberation Organization in the 1980s. Nor can it disarm Hezbollah without launching another deep and costly ground invasion, with severe consequences for Lebanon. Hezbollah also has much to lose from a return to civil war. Instead, Israel says it is trying to create a buffer zone in southern Lebanon – like it did in 1985-2000 – to push Hezbollah away from the border and reduce the threat of missile attacks or ground infiltration. Hezbollah restarted drone and missile attacks against Israel following the US-Israeli war on Iran, the group’s main patron. These Israeli strikes and evacuation orders have created a dire humanitarian situation in southern Lebanon. More than 80 towns and villages have been emptied and more than 15 per cent of Lebanon’s population displaced. Last week, Israel bombed more than 100 targets across the country in 10 minutes, killing hundreds of people. The wave of strikes came despite the US-Iran ceasefire, which Tehran and Islamabad said included Lebanon (a claim rejected by the US). Hezbollah’s opposition Lebanese President Joseph Aoun called for direct talks with Israel in March, but until last week Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had refused. President Aoun enjoys a popular mandate, but he faces stiff resistance from Hezbollah. The group insists on a ceasefire and an Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese territory as preconditions for talks. US Vice President JD Vance said last week that Israel had offered to ‘check themselves a little bit in Lebanon’ to avoid undermining the US-Iran ceasefire. However, Israel has continued to strike southern Lebanon and has intensified its ground operations in the town of Bint Jbeil. Related work Any Israeli occupation of southern Lebanon will work to Hezbollah’s advantage Israel is likely aiming to push the Lebanese government to demonstrate its commitment to disarming the group, which it is committed to under UN Security Council Resolutions 1559 and 1701, as well as the 2024 ceasefire deal. Hezbollah has categorically refused to disarm. While Hezbollah’s support base is a minority within Lebanese society, the group has the military and intelligence capabilities to eliminate its domestic political opponents and pressure the Lebanese government, both of which it has done before. This week, Hezbollah political council member Wafiq Safa said that his group will not abide by agreements that may result from the talks. During the talks in Washington, the group claimed it launched at least 24 attacks against Israel and Israeli troops. Unable to prevent talks Given these challenges, it’s easy to be pessimistic about the fate of any future negotiations. But neither Tehran nor Hezbollah have been able to torpedo the talks so far. In a combative speech, Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem urged the Lebanese government to cancel the talks but was unable to prevent Tuesday’s meeting in Washington. Politically, Hezbollah doesn’t have the numbers in Parliament to reverse the Lebanese government’s decision. And if it withdraws its ministers from the cabinet in protest, Prime Minister Nawaf Salam can replace them with other Shia figures with no allegiances to Iran. Last week, Hezbollah’s supporters protested against the government. But the small demonstration appeared to have little participation from Hezbollah’s political allies including Amal, led by Shia Lebanese parliament speaker Nabih Berri. Hezbollah could use its weapons against its fellow Lebanese, as it has done previously. But this would be a high-risk move at a time when its ally, Iran, has been severely weakened by the US and Israel. Hezbollah also has much to lose from a return to civil war. It would likely face armed conflict with the Lebanese army, other Lebanese factions that might seek to re-arm, and fighters loyal to Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa. The near-constant threat from Israeli drones would make it virtually impossible for Hezbollah to mount any effective military campaign in Lebanon. Confidence-building measures None of this means that Lebanon–Israel talks going forward are likely to yield positive results. The current mess is primarily a result of Hezbollah again dragging Lebanon into war with Israel. Moving forward, Israel will expect results, not just speeches, on Hezbollah’s disarmament. Given the deeply rooted nature of the Hezbollah problem, the only way to approach the next round of negotiations is for both sides to pursue confidence-building measures. The initial meeting in Washington is a welcome and historic first step, but both sides should now take more concrete action. Israel will expect results, not just speeches, on Hezbollah’s disarmament. Israel must recognize that this Lebanese government presents the best chance to disarm Hezbollah and disassociate the country from Iran. It should avoid further attacks on state infrastructure and urban centres, and particularly Beirut, which risk civilian casualties, undermine the Lebanese government and bolster Hezbollah’s narrative of resistance. The Lebanese government, meanwhile, should make it as difficult as possible for Hezbollah to operate. Politically, it should consider expelling Hezbollah ministers from the cabinet, given that officials from the group have accused the government of treason. Financially, the government must outlaw all of Hezbollah’s financial activities. And militarily, it could instruct the army to deploy in all of Beirut including its southern suburbs, confiscate any arms belonging to Hezbollah in the capital, and arrest anyone endangering civil peace.
Lebanon–Israel talks must be given a chance
