What's His Is His
Tzachi Hanegbi, a former senior security official, calls on Ynet to seize the diplomatic window with Lebanon before the US congressional elections, praising Amos Hochstein for his contribution to the maritime agreement and the ceasefire. He lists five strategic events and argues that all disputes are bridgeable except for Hezbollah's opposition.
Tzachi Hanegbi, a former senior figure in the security establishment, urges in Ynet to exploit the current diplomatic window to complete a political process with the Lebanese government before the US congressional elections in November. He quotes Jared Kushner, who called to mark the sixth anniversary of the Abraham Accords, and sees Lebanon as the potential arena for a groundbreaking move. Hanegbi praises Amos Hochstein, the former US envoy, for his contribution to the maritime border demarcation agreement in October 2022 and the 2024 ceasefire agreement, which allowed Israel to continue operating in five compounds in southern Lebanon. He lists five strategic events since then: Trump's election, Assad's fall, the confrontation with Hezbollah, the election of Joseph Aoun as president, and the signing of the 'Triple Framework Agreement' in June. Hanegbi argues that all disputes are bridgeable except for Hezbollah's opposition, and calls to focus on it while showing goodwill.
