Excellent write-up of this historic event, @apshamilton. One of the most important aspects of the Hive blockchain is being able to hear straight from people without any ... "filters" ... in between us. Your perspective on what is currently happening is invaluable.

I particularly liked what you wrote at the end about why Netanyahu may have lulled his adversaries into a false sense of ?...? by creating the ceasefire with Hezbollah. While you do not touch on that really, I wonder how many people in Lebanon are secretly rooting for the Israelis to be successful in fully decimating Hezbollah, much as they have done with Hamas.

What are your thoughts on this? If the grip of Hezbollah on Lebanon is weakened / eliminated, I wonder what the future of Lebanon would unfold to become? With the re-election of Trump, are you hoping for a resumption of negotiations with its neighbors (and other countries) to normalize their relations with Israel through the Abraham Accords?
