In not quite one year since the ceasefire deal in Lebanon, Israel has broken the ceasefire 4,600 times. It has killed hundreds of people, including infants, demolished tens of thousands of homes and annexed five areas of Lebanon; it was supposed to withdraw completely.
After a series of attacks throughout the night, the Israelis today at dawn bombed a café in the town of Houla, Lebanon, reducing it to rubble. This is an act of terrorism and further ethnic cleansing. pic.twitter.com/loNvRPhmuI -- courtneybonneauimages (@cbonneauimages) October 8, 2025
This situation is being replicated in detail in Gaza. In particular, the ceasefire in Lebanon is "guaranteed" by the USA and France and overseen by an international committee referred to as "the Mechanism". The "Mechanism" is chaired by the USA. Accordingly the guarantors have refused to acknowledge a single breach of the ceasefire because the US-controlled "Mechanism" calls them counter-terrorist operations aimed at disarming Hezbollah.
The United Nations defers to "the Mechanism" and thus to the USA, and the presence of UN Peacekeeping troops in Southern Lebanon is therefore useless. Lebanon is now under control of the US/Israeli puppet administration of General Aoun and effectively being run by US Special Envoy Tom Barrack.
Barrack stated that the borders of Israel and Syria are meaningless and that "Israel will go where they want, when they want, and do what they want to protect the Israelis and their border to make sure on October 7th it never happens again". This is from the "guarantor" of the Lebanese ceasefire agreement.
There can be no doubt that Trump's US chaired "Board of Peace" for Gaza will take exactly the same line as "the Mechanism" in Lebanon. It is axiomatic that Israel will never honour any agreement. They never have. -- Cont'd at https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2025/10/a-warning-from-lebanon/
