Israel has continued its military intervention in Lebanon, despite a memorandum of understanding and an interim peace deal that could be the first step to ending the war with Iran. What is making matters worse is that Israel is also preparing for a permanent occupation of Lebanon.

Israel has rejected all calls to stop the aggression in Lebanon. It has expressed its disgust with the US’s willingness to sign a peace agreement for the war-mongering ruling class in Jerusalem.
