Nobel Peace Prize laureate Tawakkol Karman lauded the Lebanon ceasefire agreement, describing it as a significant achievement that spares Lebanon from destruction and aggression while simultaneously preventing the exploitation and manipulation of the Palestinian cause by the Iranian project.
Karman's analysis centers on Hezbollah's altered role. The ceasefire seemingly aligns the group with Western expectations, a significant concession. Crucially, she clarifies her criticism targets Hezbollah's actions, not the Shiite community itself.
The agreement, reached after prolonged conflict, demands Hezbollah cease attacks, with Israel reciprocating. Importantly, only Lebanese forces can bear arms in southern Lebanon, aiming to bolster the government's control.
Despite viewing the ceasefire as a blow to Hezbollah, Karman cautions against optimism. She believes Hezbollah, under Iran's direction, will continue undermining Lebanon's sovereignty. This highlights the complex geopolitical realities and the enduring challenges facing Lebanon.
