You know Hezbollah, they’re an officially designated terrorist group by the US State Department, the federal agency in charge of making the designations
Macron, Biden Demand 21-Day Ceasefire in Lebanon; Fail to Mention Hezbollah
President Joe Biden joined French President Emmanuel Macron and several other nations Wednesday evening in proposing a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah — just as Israel had begun to destroy the terrorist organization.
The text of the ceasefire demand fails to mention Hezbollah, calling only on the government of Lebanon and Israel to comply. It also does not mention Iran, which is the country that arms, funds, and trains Hezbollah’s terrorists.
Hezbollah broke an existing ceasefire in October, when it began shooting at Israel last October. The ceasefire, under United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701 of 2006, required Hezbollah to disarm and leave the border.
The United Nations failed to enforce the ceasefire, allowing Hezbollah to build up forces in southern Lebanon. Israel evacuated over 60,000 citizens from their homes in October, but focused its military efforts on Hamas in Gaza.
Why is it so tough for Biden-Harris and Macron to mention Hezbollah? Are they worried about losing the votes of terrorist supporters?
Here’s the text of the statement
The situation between Lebanon and Israel since October 8th, 2023 is intolerable and presents an unacceptable risk of a broader regional escalation. This is in nobody’s interest, neither of the people of Israel nor of the people of Lebanon.
It is time to conclude a diplomatic settlement that enables civilians on both sides of the border to return to their homes in safety.
It’s almost like it’s Israel and Lebanon who are fighting, when Lebanon wants nothing to do with Hezbollah
Diplomacy however cannot succeed amid an escalation of this conflict.
Thus we call for an immediate 21 day ceasefire across the Lebanon-Israel border to provide space for diplomacy towards the conclusion of a diplomatic settlement consistent with UNSCR 1701, and the implementation of UNSCR 2735 regarding a ceasefire in Gaza
I guess the mention of 1701 can sorta be a reference to Hezbollah, and a serious roundabout way
We call on all parties, including the Governments of Israel and Lebanon, to endorse the temporary ceasefire immediately consistent with UNSCR 1701 during this period, and to give a real chance to a diplomatic settlement.
We are then prepared to fully support all diplomatic efforts to conclude an agreement between Lebanon and Israel within this period, building on efforts over the last months, that ends this crisis altogether.
Lebanon is not fighting. Who are the other parties? Why not mention Hezbollah directly? Are Biden-Harris and Macron worried by rioting from the terrorism supporters imported into their countries? As far as Israel goes, Netanyahu says there is no ceasefire, as he and Israel have not even responded to it yet. However
(Jerusalem Post) Israeli politicians and residents of northern Israel condemned the US-French ceasefire proposal between Israel and Hezbollah, scheduled to begin on Thursday around midday, Israeli media reported Thursday morning.
In an interview, Metula Regional Council chairman David Azulai emphasized that such a ceasefire would ensure “the next October 7,” for which the government would be responsible, he further stressed. In addition to Azulai, the Upper Galilee Regional Council’s chairman, Amir Sofer, said that while “there is a time for negotiations, this is not the time.”
Azulai explained that recent days have highlighted Hezbollah’s capabilities and that “this government of [Prime Minister] Benjamin Netanyahu” must “remove the threat” to avoid another “October 7 next year.” Azulai emphasized that such a situation “must not happen” and that the government “has all the support it needs” to fight Hezbollah and provide a more safe environment for northern Israel’s residents.
All a ceasefire does is give Iran the time to rearm Hezbollah.
It’s nice how the Biden/Harris?democrat to be named later regime believe they can just tell other countries what to do, while they themselves suffer no consequences for what they do.

Fixed it for ya.
President Biden is slowly sinking into dementia, so perhaps we can’t blame him, but President Macron is not. The real culprit is some mid-level staffer in the White House or State Department, though we don’t know if it’s due to stupidity or malice. Considering some of the woke appointees of this misbegotten government, both could be the case.
