Lebanon-based journalist Hussein Assaf of VPol exposes the Israel-Lebanon “ceasefire” as war containment, not peace. He discusses Israel’s assassination of reporter Amal Khalil — the ninth journalist killed by Israel in Lebanon this year — along with U.S.-backed daily violations, how Lebanon’s government is trying to strip away the country’s only real resistance to Israeli aggression, and why the latest talks are a “charade.” “The U.S. and Israel are just buying time,” Assaf warns, as the region edges toward wider war. #breakthroughnews
