Lebanon peace deal: can it hold?

Lebanon peace deal: can it hold?

The war in Iran triggered a new round of conflict between the Hizbollah militia in Lebanon and the Israeli army. More than 4,000 people have been killed and about a million displaced. Lebanon and Israel signed a peace deal in Washington at the weekend to end the fighting, but without Hizbollah’s participation, can the deal hold? Gideon [https://www.ft.com/gideon-rachman] puts the question to the FT's editor Roula Khalaf and Andrew England, the FT's Middle East editor.
