Lebanese authorities have expressed growing concerns over the potential collapse of the ceasefire agreement with Israel, citing numerous violations by the Israeli side. According to The National, an Emirati newspaper, political circles in Lebanon believe Israel may no longer be committed to the deal signed on November 27 or could be preparing for a long-term occupation.
Since the agreement was reached, Lebanese officials claim there have been over 300 Israeli breaches. "The situation is dire. There’s a sense in Lebanese political circles that Israel either no longer wants this deal or is gearing up for some form of permanent occupation," a source told the newspaper. Political insiders warn that Lebanon is bracing for the worst-case scenario.
A source linked to the Shiite organization Hezbollah stated that these violations threaten the ceasefire agreement. He also urged Lebanon’s government, military, and relevant entities to reassess their stance and analyze the unfolding situation urgently.
Former Lebanese Interior Minister Marwan Charbel echoed these concerns, arguing that recent developments in Syria are deeply interconnected with Lebanon. "Netanyahu now feels emboldened to do whatever he wants. He won’t withdraw from Lebanon, and nothing seems to restrain him," Charbel told The National. He suggested that Israel’s stance on the Lebanese ceasefire may have shifted following the regime change in Syria, speculating that its ultimate goal might be to seize more land and expand its influence.
