Randa Slim, director at the Middle East Institute, emphasized that a political deal is essential for peace, proposing a revamped Resolution 1701 with stronger enforcement.
Slim acknowledged past criticisms of Resolution 1701 but highlighted its prior success, having maintained 17 years of relative calm along the Lebanon-Israel border.
Resolution 1701, adopted by the UNSC in 2006, successfully ended a conflict sparked by Hezbollah's actions, resulting in significant casualties and border tension.
The 2006 conflict, initiated by Hezbollah's kidnapping of Israeli soldiers, led to extensive military actions from Israel and ultimately a UN-led resolution to restore peace.
