In his analysis of current developments in Lebanon, prominent Israeli journalist Yoni Ben-Menachem (who is close to security decision-making circles) presents a strategic reading based on a "recommendation to act," rather than mere monitoring:
Waiting Tactics: Ben-Menachem believes that Hezbollah and the Amal Movement are employing a "tactical waiting" strategy, betting on the outcomes of US-Iranian negotiations to bypass the Lebanese-Israeli agreement.
Pressure to Change Army Leadership: Ben-Menachem calls on Israel to pressure Washington to dismiss the Army Commander, General Rudolf Heikal, alleging his "closeness to Hezbollah," in an attempt to curb Iranian influence by pressuring the military establishment.
