The Israeli public is divided over the proposed 60-day cease-fire along the northern border, with many expressing concerns about Hezbollah's resurgence. The objective of the cease-fire is to ensure the safety of Israelis living near the border. Different strategies, such as mobilizing Lebanese elements or targeting Lebanon's infrastructure, are being considered to dismantle Hezbollah. Israel has chosen a carrot approach, offering dialogue and collaboration to weaken the group. The chosen strategy must be upheld to maintain consistency and build international legitimacy. The cease-fire is seen as temporary, pending Trump's return to the White House, and the onus is on Lebanon and the international community to dismantle Hezbollah's infrastructure within 60 days. The primary focus should shift to the Iranian front to dismantle the Iranian nuclear program and eliminate the Iranian threat entirely. The principle of maintaining control over Israel's own security is crucial to prevent Hezbollah from regaining its capacity to threaten Israeli communities and citizens.
