As a Lebanese, this is one of the happiest days in Lebanon’s history. As a Middle Easterner, this is one of the most transformative days for the Middle East. As a human being who holds peace before my eyes, this is the most important day for our region. Nasrallah and Hezbollah have terrorized the Lebanese people since the 1980s. He is responsible for the continuous downfall of Lebanon’s economy and sovereignty. He bears responsibility for countless assassinations of fine Lebanese men and women, solely for opposing his grip on our precious country. Nasrallah is also responsible for the slaughter of thousands of Syrian children, women, and men, as well as for other atrocities across the Middle East. Every Lebanese and every decent human being should feel joy at the downfall of one of the greatest evils of our time. Now, we have a real chance to look forward, ensuring Hezbollah’s weapons are handed over to the Lebanese authorities, and sitting down with Israelis and the West for genuine negotiations on normalization and peace between our countries—Israel and Lebanon.

Remember Omar Hamed, a 16-year-old from the village of Beitin-Ramallah, who was ruthlessly murdered three weeks ago in retaliation for the death of Binyamin Achimair, the Israeli child who was found murdered. Today, Israeli police arrested the settler who shot Omar to death. The settler, a 34-year-old from the settlement of Beit El, was charged with murder as an act of terrorism. May the memory of Omar and Achimair be a blessing.
