‘Double standard’ built into Lebanon ceasefire agreement: Analysis
The success of the ceasefire in Lebanon, in some ways, “is in Hezbollah’s court”, due to Israeli violations of it, says Mohamed Elmasry, a professor at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies. “[Hezbollah] could certainly attack Israel right now on the basis that Israel has already violated the agreement, but so far, they have not,” Elmasry told Al Jazeera. The US, additionally, is “not a neutral arbiter” in the ceasefire process, the professor said. “It’s very clear that, from the US perspective, Israel has the right to engage Hezbollah, to attack Hezbollah, but Hezbollah does not reserve the same right to do to Israel,” he said. “So there’s already this kind of built-in double standard.” Subscribe to our channel: http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe
