"It is in no ones interest — not Israel's, not the region's, not the world's — for this conflict to spread beyond Gaza."

Hezbollah has signalled it "is willing to go all the way" toward a final border settlement if there's a Gaza cease-fire.

"I am doing my duty to prevent Lebanon from entering the war."

"We were not interested in a conflict. But if Hezbollah does start one, it will finish on Israel's terms."

"I don't know when the war in the north [will happen]. I can tell you that the likelihood of it happening in the coming months is much higher than it was in the past."

"The situation on Israel's northern border demands change... [t]he stopwatch for a diplomatic solution is running out."

"We are shifting from being passive to actively pursuing Hezbollah."

"Netanyahu clearly wants war [with Hezbollah]."

"It is likely that there is going to be a war between Hezbollah and Israel within the next six to eight months."

Will There Be an Israel-Hezbollah War?

Israel and Lebanon on Wednesday agreed to implement a U.S.-brokered ceasefire, contingent on a complete cessation of fire by Hezbollah and the evacuation of all its operatives from areas south of the Litani River in southern Lebanon.

The agreement, reached after a fourth round of U.S.-mediated talks in Washington, also calls for the creation of "pilot zones" where the Lebanese Armed Forces would take exclusive control of territory "to the exclusion of all non-state actors."

Israel's refusal to fully honor the ceasefire — continuing strikes, blocking displaced Lebanese from returning home and maintaining occupation of southern Lebanon — makes any deal hollow. Hezbollah never agreed to the terms, and Israel's far-right ministers are already calling it a mistake. This isn't peace; it's Israel using a diplomatic framework as cover to keep fighting.

Hezbollah has fired over 5,500 rockets at IDF troops and 2,500 at Israel since March, and a senior Hezbollah official flatly rejected a partial ceasefire before the ink was even dry. The April truce already collapsed because Hezbollah never stopped attacking. Any framework that doesn't force Hezbollah out of southern Lebanon and dismantle its infrastructure is just giving Iran's proxy time to rearm.

There is a 4% chance Israel will conduct a ground invasion of Iran before 2027, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
