An article by writer Eli Qasifi in Al-Majalla magazine reviews a potential US approach in Lebanon that goes beyond disarming Hezbollah to reducing its influence within security, military, and public administration institutions, through a formula combining Israeli military pressure with US political and institutional pressure. It notes that the Lebanese-Israeli negotiation track under US sponsorship appears suspended until after the Israeli elections, and compares the experience of de-Baathification in Iraq in 2003 with reducing Hezbollah's role, considering that the latter may remain a participant in power but without the ability to control political and security decisions.
