Barak Warns Against Lebanon Occupation

Former Israeli PM Ehud Barak warns that Israel’s current military operation in southern Lebanon risks repeating past mistakes, urging a swift exit to avoid a prolonged, costly occupation. He argues that the 2000 withdrawal — which he admits should have happened sooner — was a tragedy with no rational justification, and now, with Hezbollah and Iran escalating tensions, the situation is even more dangerous. Barak insists any military action must be part of a political solution with Lebanon, not a conquest. Despite public support for the current presence, he highlights Hezbollah’s evolution, advanced tech, and the humanitarian toll — calling indefinite occupation a delusion under mounting international pressure.
