Lebanon peace deal: can it hold?
About this episode
The episode discusses the recent peace deal between Lebanon and Israel amidst ongoing conflict involving Hizbollah.
The war in Iran triggered a new round of conflict between the Hizbollah militia in Lebanon and the Israeli army. More than 4,000 people have been killed and about a million displaced. Lebanon and Israel signed a peace deal in Washington at the weekend to end the fighting, but without Hizbollah’s participation, can the deal hold? Gideon puts the question to the FT's editor Roula Khalaf and Andrew England, the FT's Middle East editor.
