Of course this is going to get down voted down because we can't post anything negative about Israel here. Only about ourselves. But if we dare mention anything wrong with Israel; the post gets down voted to bits, classic.
There’s a lot of resistance to the idea of President Aoun meeting the israeli PM. But what’s the actual downside?
We already live in a reality where decisions affecting Lebanon are influenced by external actors who don’t coordinate with the Lebanese state. Iran doesn’t consult us on its regional strategy, yet we bear the consequences.
So what exactly do we lose by opening a direct political channel ourselves? If anything, wouldn’t it at least give Lebanon a seat at the table instead of being sidelined?
Genuine question: is the objection about principle, optics, or actual strategic cost?
