Israel and Hezbollah show us how "ceasefires" work when nobody wants to stop
So, Israel and Hezbollah signed a ceasefire, and there is a massive US-Iran peace deal on the way. Naturally, everyone celebrated by launching more rockets.
We have reached the peak "this meeting could have been an email" era of international diplomacy. Israel and Hezbollah signed a peace deal on Sunday, but apparently, the memo got lost in the mail. Or maybe they just wanted to get a few last-minute airstrikes in before the weekend.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that his troops are staying in Lebanon "for as long as necessary." Meanwhile, Hezbollah's chief, Naim Qasem, is calling the upcoming US-Iran deal a "great victory" while his guys are busy landing explosive drones on Israeli soldiers.
Even Donald Trump, currently at the G7 summit in France, is losing his patience. He openly complained that Netanyahu is overreacting. As Trump put it, if a couple of harmless drones land in the desert, you do not have to knock down entire buildings in Beirut.
It turns out signing a peace treaty is the easy part; the hard part is convincing anyone to actually stop shooting.
