A Middle East expert, Magnus Norell, asserts that the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah will persist regardless of any potential peace agreement involving the United States and Iran. Iran has claimed Lebanon is integral to the US deal, but Norell dismisses the notion that such an agreement would resolve the underlying issues. He characterizes the prospective deal as ineffective, stating it won’t address fundamental problems in Lebanon or the wider Middle East. Norell believes Israel has no intention of ending its operations against Hezbollah, even with a formal agreement in place. This suggests a continuation of regional instability and a limited impact from current diplomatic efforts. The expert’s assessment casts doubt on the long-term prospects for peace in the region, highlighting the deeply entrenched nature of the conflict.
