Lebanon... The Objective Reality of the Resistance and Peace Projects

A political analysis arguing that three years after the Gaza war, Lebanon has been fully exposed to its internal and regional realities, that the concept of resistance as embodied by Hezbollah has collapsed militarily, and that the negotiation track launched by the Lebanese state has hit clear limits due to Israeli conditions and the balance of power. The writer points to the collapse of the regional umbrella Hezbollah had relied on after the war on Iran and the US-Iranian truce, and the absence of a regional umbrella backing Lebanon's diplomatic track, making any solution in Lebanon part of a broader regional settlement whose outlines remain unclear, amid a political vacuum caused by the lack of a unifying national project for both Hezbollah and its opponents.
