Will Israel Do Lebanon’s Dirty Work?
Trump loses patience as Beirut fails to disarm Hezbollah terrorists.

You didn’t get your hopes up, did you? All the hype about the Lebanese disarming Hezbollah has given way to familiar passivity and disappointment. Which in turn is causing the U.S. red light on major renewed Israeli military action to turn green.
On Thursday Israel sent evacuation orders to several villages in southern Lebanon and launched air strikes on Hezbollah targets. A military official warned this was “only a preview” of what will come if Lebanon’s army doesn’t disarm the terrorists.
Hezbollah has been rebuilding in defiance of the cease-fire agreement a year ago that ended its devastation by Israel. A senior Israeli official tells us the Iranian smuggling route to Hezbollah via Syria hasn’t been fully closed, and that the terrorists are rearming faster than Israel has been able to degrade them with one-off strikes against cease-fire violations.
In particular Hezbollah is again smuggling and building the rockets and antitank missiles that made the north of Israel a no-go zone for more than a year after October 2023. If there’s one lesson Israelis have taken from the massacre of Oct. 7, it’s that they can never again let Iran-backed jihadists build up on their borders. This is also what the Lebanese government pledged to prevent. It was supposed to disarm Hezbollah by the end of this year.
The Trump Administration is running out of patience. “Should Beirut continue to hesitate, Israel may act unilaterally,” Tom Barrack, the U.S. envoy to Lebanon, warned in October, and that’s what happened. “It is really up to the Lebanese,” Mr. Barrack added last week. “America is not going to get deeper involved in the situation with a foreign terrorist organization and a failed state dictating the pace.”
Mr. Barrack is frustrated with Lebanon’s “paralyzed government,” and it isn’t his fault. He gave it every chance, restraining Israel for months. But Beirut will neither confiscate Hezbollah arms—beyond what the terrorists themselves allow—nor come to terms with Israel. “You can’t say the word ‘Israel’ in Lebanon,” Mr. Barrack said. “It’s illegal to have a conversation with Israel. What era are we living in?”
Israeli talk of destroying Hezbollah once and for all may be too ambitious, but signs of a new offensive are multiplying. On Sunday Iraq’s Defense Minister said he received a “final warning” from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that his country’s Iran-backed Shiite militias must sit out any renewed conflict in the region.
President Trump has a new reason to reinforce America’s credibility in the region: Gaza. What does Hamas have to fear in resisting disarmament, in violation of the Trump peace plan, when it sees Hezbollah getting away with the same in Lebanon?
We remember when Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said after the 2006 Lebanon War that Beirut and the United Nations would disarm Hezbollah and exclude it from southern Lebanon. When they proved toothless, the failure to respond made another war with Israel inevitable. Better not to make the same mistake again.
