There’s one major roadblock to a new Middle East, to a region where Israel lives in peace and prosperity with its Arab neighbors. That roadblock is the Iranian axis. In Iraq, Gaza, Yemen, Lebanon, and Syria, Iran’s regime has spent years creating chaos and surrounding Israel with a ring of fire, a proxy network sworn to the destruction of the Jewish state.
The crown jewel of this evil empire is Hezbollah. Over a period of decades, Iran’s most lethal proxy turned southern Lebanon into its own personal terror kingdom, armed to the teeth and perched on Israel’s border. But much like its masters in Tehran, Hezbollah is now a shell of what it once was, thanks to the full force of the Israeli military.
As a result, for the first time in a long time, there is a glimmer of hope in Lebanon. President Trump met yesterday at the White House with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, and they envisioned a future without Hezbollah.
โWe are going to solve a lot of problems,โ President Trump stated. โWe’ve already solved some of them for Lebanon. As you know, there’s a Hezbollah problem. But we’ve done some things that I think the world will take notice. Again, it’s been a very badly treated place and country, and we’re going to have it properly treated and treated with the respect that it deserves.โ
You can’t have a normally functioning country when a terrorist entity that takes its orders from Iran has created a state within a state inside your borders.
Hezbollah’s continued poisonous influence in Lebanon is holding up some potentially great things.
โThe Abraham Accords have been, I think, a tremendous success,โ President Trump said. โI think you’re going to see a lot of countries joining pretty soon. As you know, we have our original group, and it’s so successful for themโeconomically successful. It’s been that nobody left even during this time of conflict. So, no, I think Lebanon has a very important place.โ
Folks, the possibilities here are endless once the Iranian terror axis is out of commission and the job, God willing, is finished. In the meantime, the Trump administration is facilitating some very promising talks between Lebanon and Israel.
Folks, it’s very clear that there is one major roadblock to a region where Israel actually lives in peace, at least for a periodโwe know what the Bible says!
Hezbollah is the elephant in the room, but things are developing rapidly as Iran’s axis is decreasing and being weakened like it’s never been weakened before. Possibilities that just a few years ago were not even on the radar screen are now opening up, including the real possibility of normalization between Israel and Lebanon.
Hezbollah needs to be cast into the ash heap of history along with its Iranian masters.
Remember, there is a large Christian population in Lebanon, beleaguered many times by jihadists there led by Hezbollah, of course. Keep that in your prayers. A future peace between Israel and Lebanon would be a game-changer.
