‘One Day We Will Drive From Jerusalem To Beirut’: Huckabee Says Lebanon Deal Marks Historic Shift

Lebanon’s critics say the framework is worse than expected after five rounds of U.S.-backed talks and a March ban on Hezbollah military activity.

  • On Friday, Lebanon and Israel signed a framework agreement at the White House, coordinated by the Trump administration after months of direct negotiations.
  • US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee stated Tuesday that the agreement redefines the border threat, shifting focus from a conflict between nations to one centered on Hezbollah.
  • The framework mandates the disarmament of non-state armed groups and establishes "pilot zones" where the Lebanese Armed Forces will gradually assume control from Israeli forces.
  • Critics including Ziad Abu-Rish of Bard College contend the agreement is "impossible to successfully implement," arguing it concedes Israeli strategic objectives in southern Lebanon.
  • Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu celebrated the deal as a "historic milestone," though historian Ussama Makdisi warned it risks creating a government model subordinate to Israel, like the West Bank.
