    Doesn’t matter. Israel won’t agree to any ceasefire.

    And if some mid-level official makes it seem like they will, they’ll kill the opposing leader to make sure it doesn’t happen.

      It would be foolish for Israel to accept a cease-fire now that the initial attack against Hezbollah has succeeded and permanent destruction of the group as a political and military force is within reach.

      The very fact that Hezbollah is making this offer indicates desperation. As for Hezbollah’s leadership: at this rate soon no one of note will be willing to accept the position.

        LOL destruction of the group as a political force is abolutely not in reach or even close to it. This is a deeply entrench sectarian group. It is the political and military expression of Lebanese Shia and the bonds and loyalty run extremely deep. There is no analogue to it among the other two sects, who dominate the official government and will never coordinate together in auch a manner as to defeat it. If it were as simple as assassination leaders, bombing infrastructure and invading the south, it would have been done decades ago.

        You’re being sold a delusional bill of goods just as in 2003 and 2006.

        Yeah committing genocide on a people has been known to stop them from hating you and participating in asymmetric warfare against you.

        Truly peak understanding of fundamental human group psychology.
