Many out there are confused by the sudden Ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon, given that one of Hezbollah’s initial early operational imperatives was to not relent its military pressure on Israel until a ceasefire was reached in Gaza.
That prospect, one of a ceasefire, seems more unlikely now, though some hold out hope that this ceasefire in Lebanon will snowball into others throughout the region. With the IDF on the brink, low on munitions and manpower, why relent now?

Israel in Shock as ICC Issues Arrest Warrant For Netanyahu/Gallant: Everything You Need to Know
Hello and welcome to or welcome back to Colonial Outcasts, the anti-imperialist pod cast that has released way too many episodes this week. Sorry, don’t want to go the way of Star Trek in the 90’s and give y’all franchise fatigue, but I’ve just been getting too many questions about what the International Criminal Court arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, actually means.
