Lebanese journalist Tony Boulos has sparked intense national debate after declaring on LebanonOn TV that peace with Israel is inevitable. Boulos argued that the Palestinian cause has only brought instability to the Arab world and urged Lebanon to abandon “empty slogans” in favor of a pragmatic and forward-looking approach.
His remarks, aired on October 13, 2025, have drawn support from reformist voices seeking new political directions, while facing sharp criticism from pro-resistance factions and traditional political groups. The broadcast has amassed over 500,000 views and trended widely on Lebanese media and social platforms.
This development highlights a growing pragmatic trend in Arab discourse, indicating the influence of younger and moderate voices reshaping regional politics and public attitudes toward normalization with Israel.
