Can a Ceasefire Bring Real Security to Israel’s North? CNN Interview

Miri reacts to the surprise announcement of a US-brokered ten-day ceasefire, noting the Israeli public's mixed feelings and the tense security situation, especially for communities in northern Israel facing ongoing Hezbollah attacks. She emphasizes that Israeli society overwhelmingly supports a strong security posture ("the fist") against Hezbollah, whom she describes as an Iranian-backed terror army on Israel’s border. For Miri, the primary concern during the ceasefire is ensuring Hezbollah does not use the pause to regroup or rearm, reiterating that disarming Hezbollah is critical for true peace. She expresses strong skepticism that Lebanese authorities will move to disarm Hezbollah, and underscores Israel’s preference for peace, but only if it comes with lasting security, given the history of hostilities from Lebanon.
