Who Controls Southern Lebanon? | Amb. Danny Danon on the Israel-Lebanon Framework

Israel and Lebanon have signed a framework agreement both sides are calling historic. Lebanon’s parliament speaker has rejected it, warning of civil war. A secret security annex has leaked. And the question of whether Hezbollah will actually disarm remains open.

Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon joins MBN Washington Bureau Chief Joe Kawly to defend the agreement, respond to its harshest critics, and explain what comes next for southern Lebanon, for Hezbollah, and for a region he says is being reshaped.

The Diplomat is produced by MBN/Alhurra.
