Israel and Lebanon: two victims of Iran and its proxies
Former US President Trump plans to convene a meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, with a condition that Iran ends its support for Hezbollah. Israel and Lebanon have a complex history, with both countries sharing cultural heritage but being torn apart by Iran's influence and Hezbollah's terrorism.
Israel and Lebanon, two nations with a shared cultural heritage, are suffering due to Iran's influence and its proxy Hezbollah. Trump plans to facilitate a meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, conditional on Iran ending its support for Hezbollah. Historically, Lebanon was a majority Christian nation, but it has been ravaged by neighboring countries, first Syria and now Iran. The South Lebanon Army, mostly Christian, allied with Israel to prevent PLO terrorist attacks but was betrayed when Israel withdrew in 2000. Hezbollah, an extremist Shia Islamist group funded by Iran, has conducted deadly terrorism against Israel ever since. A peace treaty between Israel and Lebanon is fragile due to Iran's influence through Hezbollah.
