EU's Von der Leyen Backs Israel-Lebanon Framework as Hezbollah Vows Resistance
🇪🇺 BRUSSELS — Brussels endorses a deal that Hezbollah already publicly rejected this morning. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Von der Leyen's welcome is diplomatic reflex — but it arrives hours after Hezbollah's chief declared armed resistance non-negotiable. EU backing adds legitimacy pressure on Beirut and Hezbollah but gives Netanyahu no new compliance tool. For Brussels, endorsement is also self-interest: Lebanon stability reduces Mediterranean migration pressure and protects UNIFIL troops still deployed south of the Litani.
