Lebanon’s caretaker PM: ‘We have no option but the diplomatic option’
Yes, but all you can do is surrender to the IDF. The government of Lebanon has absolutely nothing else to bargain with, and you cannot even enforce that if Hezbollah’s leadership, whoever they are, chooses not to agree. Or if Iran, which holds Hezbollah’s leash, refuses to allow it.
[IsraelTimes] Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
’s caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati says in a televised speech that his country had "no option but the diplomatic option," in response to a question about diplomatic efforts to end fighting between Israel and the Hezbollah terror group.

He also says the intensified fighting may have forced up to a million people to flee parts of Lebanon in possibly the worst displacement crisis in the country’s history.

Mikati tells news hounds that "the estimated number is very high and may reach one million" — which would amount to roughly a sixth of Lebanon’s population.

"It is the largest displacement movement that may have happened... in Lebanon," he says.
