President Trump’s efforts to reshape the Middle East could eventually deliver his most improbable diplomatic prize yet: bringing Lebanon into the Abraham Accords after decades of hostility with Israel.

Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon told The Post that if Lebanon succeeds in pushing Hezbollah from the country’s south and reestablishing government control over its territory, normalization with Israel is no longer out of the question.

“I think it can be dramatic,” Danon said when asked what a Hezbollah-free Lebanon could mean for the region. “We will be very happy to see normalization — even seeing them joining the Abraham Accords.”

Such a breakthrough would mark one of the biggest expansions of the Trump-brokered accords since they were first signed in 2020, extending Israel’s diplomatic recognition with Arab states and reshaping alliances across the Middle East.

The vision aligns with a broader Trump administration effort to help Lebanon reclaim full sovereignty by eliminating Hezbollah’s military grip over the country’s south, a US official told The Post this week.
