Bibi has to keep the war machine running full tilt or he'll be removed.
It's fucked.
How did it fall apart, how? Despite all the top diplomats and the UN? Oh how?
Ah, wait, it's the regular. Bibi had too many nukes.
Either Biden is the biggest dumbass president ever to let Netanyahu play him like that, or he was also playing along to destabilize Lebanon and trying to manipulate Lebanese politics to get them turn away from Hezbollah.
I don't think this will make them turn away from Hezbollah. If anything, the current Israeli effort to occupy South Lebanon is the best possible justification for Hezbollah's existence, because everyone knows the Lebanese military won't be able to stop the IDF.
I agree. I was thinking more of influencing parliament. Time will tell if it worked.
It "fell apart" because Netanyahu's plan was always a forever war to maintain dictatorial powers indefinitely.
Don't even post the NYTrash please. It's pure disinformation and propaganda.
Diplomats thought both Israel and Hezbollah supported a call for a temporary cease-fire. Then Israel killed Hezbollah’s leader.
^ Yeah this should be the actual headline. It's been the headline on every other legit source for this old news. This NYTrash article is just late imperial cleanup.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
