It was Netanyahu and Biden that announced the ceasefire. Hezbollah stayed silent. Even now, Hezbollah has not made a statement.

This shows it was Netanyahu and Biden that had to explain and justify this agreement to their people, because this ceasefire is a total failure for them. In fact, it is an implicit capitulation to Hezbollah.

Netanyahu made it clear that ‘Israel has accepted’ the ceasefire, meaning it was Hezbollah which offered it. When you offer something, you are in the position of power, you dictate the rules and the conditions, you are the one who gets to make the demands. Israel was the one that needed this most.

Have you ever seen the winner of a war announce the ceasefire first? No, it’s always the loser, because they need to justify it to their people, in order not to face backlash.

This ceasefire agreement, in many ways, is much more lenient and less strict than the 2006 agreement, which is unanimously seen as a victory for Hezbollah. So, I think it is clear where we stand. The Party of God is, once again, victorious on the battlefield.
