Lebanon

Lebanon appears in Missing Peace: Will Israel Imperil Iran Deal? as the location where a ceasefire clause could weaken the broader America-Iran deal. The episode says Israel doubts that the Lebanese government can disarm Hezbollah or stop it from rebuilding military capacity in the south.

The source’s Lebanon segment is about enforcement, not just territory. If a formal ceasefire does not change what Israel believes Hezbollah can do near the border, Lebanon remains a trigger point for renewed war even while outside powers pursue a larger diplomatic bargain.
