Israel-Lebanon deal may entrench stalemate rather than end war - analysis
At its core is a bargain few see as workable: Hezbollah has flatly rejected disarmament, and no Lebanese government has the power to enforce it
Assessment
The proposed agreement risks formalizing a deadlock by demanding disarmament from a group that refuses it and relying on a state too weak to compel compliance. Without a credible enforcement mechanism, the deal may simply freeze the conflict rather than resolve it. The key question is whether either side can be pressured into a more realistic framework.
