ISRAEL-HEZBOLLAH AGREEMENT OPENS THE WAY FOR PEACE IN LEBANON


Pressure exerted by France and the United States to achieve peace in Lebanon has finally resulted in a two-month ceasefire between Israel and the radical group Hezbollah. Israeli forces will withdraw from the southern part of Lebanon that they occupied and the Shiite group, supported by Iran, will do the same, retreating to about 30 km from the border. This means a significant decrease in the offensive military capacity of the group that fights the Jewish state.


The ceasefire began this morning, although Hezbollah claimed that IDF forces had bombed an area south of the Lebanese capital; an accusation that has not been confirmed by independent sources. On the other hand, as the Jewish military withdraws, it will be the Lebanese national army that occupies the abandoned positions.


This agreement does not mean that it will have an effect on the war in Gaza or on the release of the hostages still held by Hamas, which would be between 60 and 80 people. US President Joe Biden believes that the agreement in Lebanon can facilitate a more or less similar compromise in Gaza, but Prime Minister Netanyahu has ruled it out and even stated that Hamas will find itself more isolated, by losing the support of Hezbollah. President Biden has informed his successor, Donald Trump, that the ceasefire “must become a permanent ceasefire of hostilities between the two parties.”


Hezbollah said today that the accepted compromise means that there will be no violation of Lebanese territory, a demand that the radical group highlighted during the negotiations with Washington and Paris. The agreement is based on resolution 1701 of the United Nations General Security Council, which sets the withdrawal of the Shiite group to 30 kms. The Beirut government said today that 5,000 Lebanese soldiers are already prepared to occupy the positions in the south of the country that Israel will abandon, although the IDF forces will have a period of 60 days to withdraw completely.


This agreement highlights the difference between the case of Gaza and that of Lebanon. In the Palestinian enclave there was never a firm will of the Western countries to achieve a ceasefire, while Israel insisted that it would not accept it no matter how much pressure it was subjected to. The case of Lebanon is different because it is an internationally recognized country in which Hezbollah is represented as a political party in Parliament.


Finally, the Israel-Hezbollah agreement will be supervised by an international committee in which the United States and France will be represented.

                         لماذا نحن هنا؟ Information is an important element in the world we live in. Fake news leads us to believe the opposite of reality. In a Middle Eastern region where the bloody war in Gaza continues, it is important to report the truth; the genocide and Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people, as well as the situation in Syria. This is what we do at ARABINFOCUS. We have therefore humbly asked for donations from members of the HH Arab Royal Houses; from His Highnesses Emirs and from important Muslim personalities who have the financial means to make a donation. We have asked them for a simple donation. Only one anonymous Saudi helped us. All the others have ignored us and have not given us even  a dinar.  Why this ignorance against ARABINFOCUS? Our fight against Jewish Zionism deserved help. But a HH Crown Prince; HH sheikhs; HH emirs;  Prime ministers; all have scorned us, instea...

          IS FOOTBALL MORE IMPORTANT THAN ARABIC CULTURE? Qatar and Saudi Arabia have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in hiring top-class soccer players in Europe to elevate and give greater prestige to their national championships in this sport. Football is a global distraction and, therefore, there is nothing to criticize about these operations. It is absolutely normal and correct that the two Arab countries have made that expense. But this situation moves us to ask some questions: 1.- Soccer is more important than the values of the culture of the Arab Nation. ? 2.-Is Soccer more important than reporting and condemning Israel's criminal aggressions against the Palestinian people? 3.-Is Soccer more important than defending Islam and its values and teachings, when it is being subjected to unfair attacks from some Western countries? 4.- Is Soccer more important than explaining and defending the values of the holy book of the Quran, subject of attacks, de...

                ONE HUNDRED KILLED IN THE ATTACK ON A SCHOOL IN GAZA Genocide and war crimes continue in Gaza, although Prime Minister Netanyahu says he is willing to resume peace negotiations. In the attack on a school this Friday, 100 Palestinians died, some of whom are women and children. Israel justified the missile attack, stating that the school served as a refuge for Hamas militants, but has not presented the slightest evidence to justify the version of the Jewish armed forces. It's the same old story. Every time Israel attacks a school, a hospital or a refugee camp, it justifies it by claiming that those places were used by the military branch of Hamas. But don't look for proof because there isn't any. The school attacked with missiles was Al-Tabin, in the Daraj area, in the capital of the Palestinian enclave. The school was completely destroyed. Meanwhile, the Palestinian and Lebanese populations continue to wait for the announced attack ...
