Haaretz: "Prompt, serious engagement in negotiations with Syria could create an envelope around Lebanon that would reduce Hezbollah's abilities..."

Haaretz calls for "engagment" as a solution for Israel, in Haaretz, here
".......there is no choice but to acknowledge that this government does not in fact control Lebanon ......
....Prompt, serious engagement in diplomatic negotiations with Syria could create an envelope around Lebanon that would significantly reduce Hezbollah's ability to act against Israel. Granted, Syria cannot be expected to sever its ties with either Iran or Hezbollah. But when a country that is allied with Iran and gives aid to Hezbollah is not "embarrassed" to declare its desire to forge a peace and security pact with Israel, it thereby presents a genuine strategic alternative....."
