A source familiar with the matter told Nidaa Al-Watan that Lebanon is watching the Israeli elections with caution and anticipation, awaiting the results.
The source noted that the outcome has direct implications for Lebanon, even though Israel’s overall policy is unlikely to change. Netanyahu has pledged to continue the war against Iran and its proxies, including Hezbollah. If Gadi Eisenkot wins, he could find himself caught up in a competition to prove that he, too, can wage wars and achieve his objectives.
The source warned that Lebanon could be entering a new and potentially more dangerous phase, particularly as Hezbollah continues to adhere to the same approach.
