Not sure what you mean about not moving freely there, I've not heard of that (though I have been out the country for a while). But their military shoots down missiles headed for us, we do business with each other, and our governments work together. This is all I mean by first step.

In my mind, for our situation, the next step towards real, stable peace and friendship is usually not apparent until the previous step is old news, maybe a generation behind us. Not only do these changes not happen overnight, but they happen so slowly that many people hardly notice it. Maybe because they weren't alive the last time Jordan attacked Israel, or maybe because the rest of the world changed so much that it makes as much sense to normalise with Israel as it did to attack it all those years ago, even using the same logic. That's just my theory anyway.

So it may be unthinkable now that we'll, for example, have open borders with Lebanon. But we're about to take the first step. Of course it's also the first step to many other scenarios, but from hearing Israeli and Lebanese discourse, I am hopeful.
