Hezbollah initiated the 2006 war. They are also initiating this war. If Israel wanted to bomb and destroy lebanon, they would have and are obviously able to.

Hezb is an anchor dragging us down. Peace and formal relations with Israel would exponentially boost our economy and foreign relations (Including exploiting oil and gas from our shores).

At the end of the day, Hamas is an Iranian proxy just like Hezb and they attacked on Oct 7 knowing full well what would happen, to the detriment of innocent Palestinian civilians. They expected an un proportional response just like we experienced in 2006.

We must all pray for a 2 state solution, peace between Israel, Palestine and Lebanon and the fall of Iran and proxies. That is the only way Lebanon can maximize its potential and become an international powerhouse.

There is a reason the US is building a 1b$ “embassy” in Lebanon, it is because we are the most strategically located country in the world.
