Trump-Netanyahu Florida Meeting Sparks New Hezbollah Offensive Fears 2026
Fears of a new Israeli offensive against Hezbollah rise after a key meeting between Trump and Netanyahu. Despite 10,000 ceasefire violations, a military escalation looms in 2026.
The ceasefire is on paper, but the missiles are in the air. Fear is gripping Lebanon as a new wave of military escalation threatens to repeat the 2024 conflict that claimed over 4,000 lives.
The Impact of the Trump-Netanyahu Hezbollah Offensive Strategy
Tensions surged following a high-stakes meeting in Florida on December 29 between US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Reports from the Jerusalem Post suggest that Trump gave a 'green light' for an intensified campaign against Hezbollah if the Lebanese state fails to disarm the group immediately.
A Ceasefire in Name Only
Despite the truce signed in November 2024, the United Nations has documented over 10,000 violations by Israel. On a single Sunday, the Israeli military launched approximately 25 attacks on southern Lebanon. While the Lebanese Army announced it completed its mission to disarm Hezbollah south of the Litani River on January 8, Israel's Foreign Ministry remains unconvinced, claiming military infrastructure still exists.
According to UNIFIL commander Diodato Abagnara, there's no sign of the group regrouping. However, the Netanyahu administration appears determined to use military force to ensure security, a lesson they say was solidified after the events of October 7.
