The agreement was signed, the ceasefire was implemented, and the displaced Lebanese began to return to their homes. They raised the victory sign from the windows of their cars. The agreement was rightly read as a defeat for the aggression, and a failure for Netanyahu, far from the text of the agreement, and what the American pledges to Netanyahu contained in the event that the agreement was implemented.

Perhaps we should not dwell on the questions that will be raised about the military situation of Hezbollah, as the issue does not lie here, but rather in what the coming days will bring in terms of the results of the agreement that led to the ceasefire between it and Israel, especially the paragraphs included in the agreement related to dismantling Hezbollah’s military structures.

When Donald Trump won his first presidency, it was a surprise. We knew nothing about him, not his personality, his ideas, or his management style. In a closed seminar, one of his close associates said: “His advantage is his disadvantage; he has a strong personality, so be careful not to anger him, or he might throw you under the bus.” He was not wrong.

Amos Hochstein, the US envoy to Lebanon, is racing against time. The world is only a few days away from the US presidential election. And as America waits for the name of the master of the White House to appear, the world waits with it.

The scenes coming from Lebanon are painful. Frightening and horrifying. Corpses lying under the rubble and houses burned or abandoned. A million displaced people. A record number in the country's history. Some are sleeping on the ground in the heart of the capital and others are sleeping in their cars because they cannot find a roof. Deadly metallic creatures are sweeping the entire map. Carrying the smell of death to all sides, along with the smell of anxiety and panic.
