Israel and Lebanon: what will talks achieve?

Even if there were a willingness to meet Israel’s demands, it would not make them any easier to fulfill, the Economist writes:

“The Lebanese government and its army are too weak to disarm Hizbullah and prevent it from launching missiles and drones at Israel. … Decommissioning Hizbullah’s arsenal and forcing the group to accept the disbanding of its military wing would take years. It would require a political consensus for such a shift within Lebanon’s deeply fractured society and the building-up of the capacity of the Lebanese army. Even if such a shift were possible, Mr Netanyahu is unlikely to give them the necessary time.”
