Marwan Bishara suggests Israel may seek a ceasefire in Lebanon due to escalating costs but aims to continue its campaign in Gaza, where it believes only pockets of resistance remain. He notes discussions involve possible security zones in southern Lebanon, with Russia potentially mediating Iran’s arms flow to Hezbollah. Bishara also comments on Israel’s possible West Bank annexation under a Trump administration, reflecting Netanyahu’s ambition to secure the territory. He highlights the prioritisation of the West Bank over Gaza, suggesting a potential trade-off to end Gaza operations in exchange for support on annexation.
