US Brokerage: Israel 'Intensifies Attacks' While Demanding Peace
While Al-Monitor highlights these historic talks, they quietly frame Israel's "intensified attacks" as a secondary action to Lebanon's internal issues. They conveniently omit that Israel has occupied Lebanese territory for decades, violating UNSC resolutions. From the 1978 and 1982 invasions, to the 2006 war that killed over 1,100 Lebanese civilians, Israel's presence has been a consistent
destabilizing force, not merely a reaction to Hezbollah. One might wonder: how many times does Israel need to 'intensify attacks' before it's called what it is—calculated aggression? The idea that such 'talks' will achieve anything meaningful when one party is simultaneously bombing the other's sovereign territory, while the US supplies the bombs, is peak diplomatic theater. Perhaps if the US
stopped enabling the 'intensified attacks,' actual peace might have a chance, rather than just another photo op for 'engagement.'
