Bringing Down the State Over the Heads of the Lebanese?

The article discusses the escalating campaign against the Lebanese government, arguing that it goes beyond political opposition to an attempt to weaken the executive authority and undermine the state's prestige. It notes that the campaign coincides with the battle to restore sovereign decision-making, the government's declaration that war and peace decisions rest exclusively with constitutional institutions, the Dahr al-Baydar explosives file, robberies in Beirut, and calls to make the capital weapons-free, while warning against pushing the army into internal confrontation.
