France and Lebanon
Two more questions about the ceasefire agreement (which in principle I think is fine)
1. I did not realize this yesterday but have become aware of it today. Israel signed a ceasefire agreement with Lebanon, not Hezbollah. All along we said we have no beef with Lebanon, only Hezbollah, and the hostilities were only with Hezbollah. Why do we need a ceasefire with Lebanon if we were only fighting with Hezbollah? And, can Lebanon be responsible and strong enough to impose its will on Hezbollah?
At best this looks bad, as if Netanyahu agreed to the ceasefire only to get France to back down form the ICC ruling. Did Netanyahu agree to this ceasefire not because it is best for the country but because it is best for him?

Hezbollah is a major part of the Lebanese government. Hezbollah controlled major chunks of Lebanese terroritory. If Lebanon was left out of this agreement, it would confirm to the world that it's a fake country unable to control its territory and therefore unable to complain when Israel enters it. Also, Lebanon has to enforce the ceasefire by containing Hezbollah {cue laughter} and preventing it from moving back south {cue more laughter}. And no, Lebanon will not be responsible and strong enough. If anything, Hezbollah will simply dress its fighters in Lebanese army uniforms and use Lebanese army equipment and move back south disguised as "the Lebanese army"
