“Israel is certainly a thorn in the side of the Americans,” said Georges Mercier in an interview with LCN on Saturday.

Since the ceasefire agreement between Iran and the United States on Wednesday, Tehran wants to include Lebanon in the terms of the agreement, while Israel believes that Hezbollah is excluded. Calls have multiplied on Thursday to expand the ceasefire, while Israeli strikes on Beirut, described as unprecedented in five weeks of conflict, quickly undermined the agreement.

“At first, from the Iranian side, we thought that the ceasefire covered Israel’s actions against Hezbollah in Lebanon,” explained the political analyst. “We later learned that, from the American side, it wasn’t quite what we had agreed to.”

According to Mr. Mercier, Israel hurried to bomb Lebanon following the announcement of the ceasefire.

“Because the day the Americans say that Israel must indeed stop its operations in Lebanon, the Hebrew state will have no choice but to do so, considering the extent of the power the Americans hold over Israel,” he emphasized.
