Israel-Lebanon deal may entrench stalemate rather than end war, analysts say

A security deal between Israel and Lebanon ties Israel's military withdrawal from southern Lebanon to Hezbollah's disarmament, a condition analysts deem unattainable as Hezbollah has rejected it and Lebanon lacks the capacity to enforce it. The agreement is criticized as structurally flawed, allowing Israel to maintain an open-ended military presence while imposing unrealistic obligations on Lebanon.
