Insight from @DavidADaoud: "It is an unmitigated mistake for the United States to pressure Israel to withdraw its forces from south Lebanon by February 18. While this date is an extension of the original withdrawal deadline, it nevertheless remains premature. Lebanon has yet to take any demonstrable action to disarm Hezbollah or secure its borders to prevent arms or funds from reaching the group."
