In this episode of Israel Insider, host Ashley Perry examines the new trilateral framework between Israel, Lebanon, and the United States—and why it could reverse some of the most troubling implications of the recent U.S.-Iran memorandum.
Perry explains how the agreement allows Israel to determine the pace of its withdrawal from southern Lebanon, requires Israeli and Lebanese verification before territory is transferred, and implicitly recognizes Israel as the only force currently capable of dismantling Hezbollah’s military infrastructure. He also discusses the framework’s exclusion of Iran, UNIFIL, and other international forces, as well as its potential path toward Israeli-Lebanese normalization.
The episode also covers efforts to exclude UNRWA from Gaza’s future governance, the possibility of Israeli elections in October, and the controversial legislation being pursued during the Knesset’s final weeks.
