A political source confirms that the visit of the American envoy Amos Hochstein turned the tables on all analyzes of the resistance axis. The American envoy stated that the Gaza truce does not necessarily guarantee the cessation of hostilities in Lebanon. This statement contradicted all of the party’s attempts to link its operations in the south to the Gaza war.
The source draws attention to the fact that the clear escalation in Hochstein’s tone came at a moment when Hezbollah was hoping for a more understanding and realistic American approach towards the situation in Lebanon, compared to the French position. However, the American’s recent statements, which are fully consistent with the Israeli vision, put Hezbollah before a difficult choice: either fully comply with Resolution 1701 to ensure the return of settlement residents or face the possibility of escalation of the conflict, with a clear indication of Israel’s readiness for both scenarios.
According to the political source, it is likely that we will see flexibility in the coming period on the part of Hezbollah regarding the issue of implementing Resolution 1701 on the ground, in light of Iran escaping the possibility of war, and in light of raising a media ceiling similar to the stage of maritime demarcation. As we have seen from Hezbollah, it continues to be arrogant, considering every move or step a victory, regardless of its difficult reality.
