Matti discusses the complex dynamics surrounding Israel's territorial withdrawals, particularly the misinterpretation of Hezbollah's demands.

The conversation also highlights the unique collaboration with local forces, including the South Lebanon Army, during Israel's military presence in the region.In this clip
