Lebanon's will

No Lebanese disagrees that the ceasefire in the field is a victory for the Lebanese will over aggression, and the failure of Israel's projects through which it sought to destroy all of Lebanon, but it was forced to stop the wheel of war after it brought with it destruction, killing, displacement and uprooting. By signing the agreement, which will last for 60 days, Lebanon has proudly crafted a scene of fatigue when it said no to fear, no to bowing, no to departure or submission. Fighting remained the master of the situation even in the most difficult negotiations in order to reach this agreement that Lebanon wrested with merit and worthiness, amidst great Lebanese welcome and jubilation to the rhythm of the first snowfall over the cedar and pine trees, so that the Lebanese sing about the signing of a peace agreement for a thousand years, and wish to live in peace after this difficult ordeal.

The Lebanese wake up this morning to a day without anxiety, crying, or ugly missiles, to declare from the midst of their ordeals: We love you, my homeland, because they believed in the inevitability of victory.

Despite all the Israeli signals claiming to achieve the occupation's goals in its war on Lebanon, these signals seem timid, and are merely sedatives for the Israeli street, which is greatly concerned about the huge losses suffered by the northern settlements, agricultural lands and vehicles, as repairing the damage takes a long time, in addition to the absence of any strategic vision to rehabilitate everything that was destroyed by Hezbollah's missiles and drones.

The statements made by a number of ministers, most notably the extremist Itamar Ben Gvir, who considered the signing of a ceasefire agreement a historic mistake, are evidence of Israel’s inability to achieve the goals of the war, and perhaps the inability to return the settlers to the north safely. Ben Gvir’s statement that the agreement is silence in response to silence indicates the occupation’s intentions not to remain silent at all, and to continue creating problems in the region. Evidence of this is Israel’s ongoing challenge to Iran, which Netanyahu described as the head of the snake, considering that the war on the nuclear project will be a priority.

Israel is a deceptive entity, and the Lebanese must be very vigilant and cautious, especially regarding what it calls freedom of military movement, and not allow it the opportunity to ignite problems and tensions in the region, because it is an entity based on problems only, waiting for the results of the international and Arab efforts exerted regarding the aggression on Gaza and the attempt to stop it, because the Strip deserves, after all this great destruction, to be liberated from the yoke of this occupation forever.
