Buffer Zones, Ceasefire Impact, and Israeli Hopes for Regime Change – Newsmax Panel

Miri examines the effectiveness of Israel's buffer zone in southern Lebanon, emphasizing that while it provides a sense of security to Israelis near the border, it is not enough on its own to maintain a lasting ceasefire with Hezbollah. She points out that life for northern Israelis has been disrupted for months by cross-border attacks, and even now, residents of Lebanese border villages—evacuated due to Israeli operations—are starting to return, raising concerns for their safety. Discussing the broader context, Miri reflects on Israeli public sentiment during the ceasefire: while many hope for quiet, there is disappointment that the conflict has not brought about the desired regime change in Iran, whose proxies and direct missile strikes have deeply impacted Israel. She notes the significance of Israel’s upcoming national holidays, underscoring the nation’s yearning for both security and resolution.
