Lebanon Drops Some Bad News on Those Anti-American Hezbollah Terrorists – RedState

President Donald Trump has been making some moves that could change the face of the globe. That doesn’t just benefit the world, but if he can pull it off, it’s also in the best interests of the United States. 

We’ve already seen the positive change in Venezuela. We’re already establishing diplomatic relations there. That’s not just helping us; it’s also putting a strong check on our enemies, like Iran. Then, too, Iran is in process, and now there’s another positive outgrowth of the action there. 

Iranian proxy Hezbollah was joining in the conflict, and Israel has responded by pounding them in Lebanon, as we reported.

Lebanon is not happy about that, and the Lebanese President Joseph Aoun criticized Israel. But what was different was how he went after Hezbollah. They seem finally ready to drop the hammer on Hezbollah for all the trouble that it has caused them. They want to end the conflict and be done with Hezbollah.

In a remarkable statement Monday afternoon, Lebanon called for direct talks with Israel on “permanent arrangements for security and stability on our borders,” while accusing the Iranian-backed militant group Hezbollah of betraying the country. [….]

But it is his criticism of Hezbollah that is significant. Calling the Shiite Muslim group “an armed faction … that places no value on Lebanon’s interest nor on the life of its people,” Aoun said Hezbollah “wanted to achieve the fall of the State of Lebanon, under aggression and chaos.” He accused the group of working “for the sake of the calculations of the Iranian regime.” […]

Aoun called for a new initiative, backed by the international community, which would establish a truce between Israel and Lebanon while helping the Lebanese armed forces disarm Hezbollah and confiscate its weaponry. The initiative would put in a place a “complete truce” with a halt to Israeli attacks as the two countries begin “direct negotiations under international sponsorship” to achieve a “final cessation of hostile acts” and “permanent arrangements for security and stability on our borders.” 

While it remains to be seen if that can be pulled off, it means they’ve had enough of Hezbollah. Lebanon had also declared Hezbollah illegal last week, which was also a stunning move. So they’re moving to eliminate them, and they’re now open to working with Israel to end the conflict. 

That’s great news after all the terrorism that Hezbollah has wreaked over the years, including against Americans. 

Let’s cite Joe Biden’s words on it, in case the Democrats forget. Hezbollah was “responsible for killing hundreds of Americans over a four-decade reign of terror,” Biden said last year after Israel took out its leader, Hassan Nasrallah.

If they no longer have a haven, Hezbollah may now be up a creek without a paddle, and one more Iranian proxy may go down. That sounds like finally some consequences for the terrorists.
