Lt. Col. (res.) Yaron Buskila called the emerging agreement with Beirut a stunning strategic breakthrough, stating that the IDF will now remain permanently in new Israeli territory in what was once Lebanon and that even the two pilot withdrawals may not take place, according to a Channel 14 analyst.
Lt. Col. (res.) Yaron Buskila, a military analyst on Channel 14, delivered a sharply optimistic assessment of the emerging strategic agreement between Israel and Beirut in a Wednesday morning Telegram broadcast. According to the message shared by the analyst's channel, Buskila described the framework as a stunning strategic achievement and asserted that the IDF will now remain permanently in areas it controls inside Lebanon — territory he called 'what was once Lebanon.' He further claimed that even the two pilot withdrawal phases originally discussed may not materialize, suggesting that no agreed timetable for any withdrawal exists.
Buskila's remarks come amid a broader public debate among Israeli security analysts and politicians over the Lebanon agreement. As The Zioneer has reported, the framework has drawn sharply polarized reactions — from Minister Orit Strock's praise of a historic shift to National Security Minister Ben-Gvir's condemnation as a historic mistake. The analyst's assessment appears to align with the more hawkish reading of the deal, emphasizing indefinite Israeli military presence and minimal real concessions.
The broadcast also included a promotional segment for an evening lecture by Dr. Guy Bechor on July 1, 2026, titled 'The Border War Is Over — What Are the Strategic Gains?' The lecture will be streamed live on Dr. Bechor's lecture channel.
