War is easy to start. Peace is much harder to build. And in the Middle East, the difference between a breakthrough and a mirage can be a matter of political will.
In this episode of EylON the Record, Eylon Levy speaks with Dan Feferman, co-founder and co-editor of Middle East 24, former executive director of Sharaka, and an IDF reserves major, about the sudden and extraordinary possibility of peace talks between Israel and Lebanon. They unpack how Hezbollah’s weakening, Lebanon’s internal political shifts, and American mediation have created an opening that would have seemed unimaginable just a few years ago — and whether this moment could produce a real strategic shift or just another temporary pause before the next war.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Why the real conflict is not between Israel and Lebanon, but between both states and Hezbollah
- How Israeli military pressure changed the political balance inside Lebanon
- Whether the Lebanese state can actually confront Hezbollah without sliding into civil war
- Why parts of the Western media and European leadership still misunderstand this moment
This conversation goes beyond the headlines to ask what peace would actually require: not just ceasefires or diplomatic theater, but the dismantling of an Iranian proxy that has held Lebanon hostage and kept both countries trapped in a conflict neither population truly wants. Getting this right matters not only for Israel and Lebanon, but for the wider struggle between regional stability and the forces that profit from permanent war.
🎯 Key moment:
“War should end with peace, not a piece of paper.”
