As fighting with Hezbollah returned days ago, something extraordinary is happening in Lebanon that deserves far more attention.For decades, Israel fought the same disastrous cycle: defeat our enemies militarily, face international pressure to withdraw, trust international guarantees, watch the terrorists rebuild, and eventually fight another war.Today, that paradigm is beginning to change.Hezbollah continues to demonstrate why Israel can never withdraw from southern Lebanon while the terrorist organization remains armed. Yet the critical development is diplomatic: the United States is increasingly placing responsibility on Hezbollah to disarm rather than demanding that Israel withdraw first.That is a HUGE shift.Israel learned the hard way what happens when we surrender strategic territory based on international promises. We withdrew from southern Lebanon in 2000, while Hezbollah built an enormous terrorist army under UNIFIL's watch. We withdrew from Gaza in 2005, uprooting nearly 10,000 Jews and destroying 21 Jewish communities. Hamas responded with rockets, terror tunnels and ultimately the October 7 massacre.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has helped change the diplomatic equation: Hezbollah must be dismantled and southern Lebanon demilitarized before Israel can be expected to withdraw.Is this the decisive victory Israel ultimately needs? No. Hezbollah remains dangerous, Iran continues orchestrating terror across the Middle East, and Israel must ensure that its northern communities can never again face this threat by remaining in our Jewish tribal lands of Dan & Naftali in Southern Lebanon forever. But we should recognize a historic diplomatic achievement when we see one.For perhaps the first time, the international expectation is shifting from "Israel must withdraw and trust us" to "the terrorist organization must disarm first."That is a paradigm shift worth protecting.Israel must continue learning the lessons of October 7: no more blind faith in international guarantees, no more surrendering strategic security for temporary diplomatic promises, and no return to failed assumptions.Peace in this region comes through strength, deterrence and ultimately decisive victory.Am Yisrael Chai!Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMv
