«O Hezbollah nasce e tem por identidade o combate a Israel»

"Hezbollah is born and defined by its fight against Israel" This Thursday's analysis on NOW by João Ferreira Dias, a researcher at the ISCTE Center for International Studies, on the current scenario in the Middle East, highlights the extreme complexity of an alleged ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, especially given Hezbollah's refusal. "Hezbollah is born and defined by its fight against Israel, the destruction of an Israeli state; it is its very genesis," he emphasized. Lebanon was described by the researcher as a fragmented territory, serving as a stage for the regional power struggle between Israel and Iran. Donald Trump's unpredictability is cited as a factor of instability, with doubts about the United States' actual authorization for potential attacks on Beirut. On the other hand, the current Israeli administration is characterized as radicalized, seeking the maximum destruction of Lebanese political infrastructure before any agreement between the United States and Iran. Negotiations between the Americans and Iranians are at an impasse, since the Iranian regime considers Lebanon an integral part of its regional security architecture, refusing to negotiate dossiers in isolation. #Ceasefire #Lebanon #Israel #Hezbollah #MiddleEast #Iran #DonaldTrump #BenjaminNetanyahu #Geopolitics #ArmedConflict #StraitOfHormuz #Beirut #Negotiations #RegionalSecurity #UnitedStates #War
