Amid escalating and repeated Israeli attacks on Lebanese territory and continuing daily violations, concerns are mounting that the situation is sliding towards a comprehensive military confrontation. In this context, the suspicious American silence regarding current events raises profound questions about the role Washington plays as a “guarantor” of previous agreements, especially those established within the mechanism for implementing the ceasefire.

Sources close to Hezbollah believe that the current American position confirms Washington’s failure to fulfill its obligations as a guarantor of the agreement through the mechanism established for its implementation. The sources add that everything that is happening today falls within the context of a campaign aimed at disarming the resistance.

In response to the exaggeration of the possibility of an Israeli war on Lebanon, especially from the eastern borders after Israel’s control over part of southern Syria, the sources indicate that the launching of a war by Israel remains possible according to all possibilities, and not only from the eastern borders. But the sources ask: “Does the Israeli want war now?”.

In light of the current situation, the sources believe that Israel enjoys absolute freedom and acts as it pleases, and practices its attacks claiming sovereignty, because it is, in fact, achieving its goals. The sources ask: What can war add to what Israel is already achieving? The sources cite the Prime Minister’s statement yesterday, which likened the Israeli Prime Minister to someone riding a bicycle, if he stops, he falls. The sources add that the current situation in Lebanon represents for Israel a continuation of the war, but at a pace determined by Israel itself in a way that serves its internal interests. Therefore, the sources believe that going to war to bring about a radical change is unlikely, especially since Lebanon is under full American tutelage, and any war on Lebanon requires direct American cover. The sources conclude that the current situation suits the Israeli enemy more.

As for the relationship between Hezbollah and the Prime Minister: Nawaf Salam, the sources confirm that it is gradually improving, and that the party’s ministers are dealing with the Presidency normally. The sources add that there is a possibility that a delegation from the party will visit the Presidency carrying files related to matters that the party prioritizes, including reconstruction, some laws in the Parliament, and the deposits of the Lebanese.
