American-Israeli Divergence on the War with Lebanon

Diplomatic sources informed "Nidaa Al-Watan" that there is a "clear American-Israeli divergence; the Americans propose a ceasefire on the southern border, followed by pressure to implement Resolution 1701, alongside the initiation of negotiations for land border demarcation. Meanwhile, the Israelis insist on introducing amendments to the resolution, moving it to Chapter Seven, which would provide the Israelis with an American guarantee of sustained calm along the southern front during the negotiations on the borders." The sources clarified that Iran, which has "benefited economically and politically to the maximum extent due to the war in Gaza and on the Lebanese border, extending to Yemen, is not inclined to get involved or enter a war, even if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ignites the Lebanon front." They stated: "Iran's entire focus has been and remains on protecting Hezbollah, and it considers that the cost paid by the party, especially in terms of human losses, is very high in a battle with which it did not engage as a partner in the reasons behind it."
