From the spectacle at Raouché Rock to the daily paralysis of institutions, Hezbollah's arms undermine sovereignty, weaken the army and security forces, and threaten the country’s stability.
In the wake of the recent war, Lebanon’s Shiite community is turning away from confrontation and demanding stability, but Hezbollah’s grip through arms, services, and political monopoly still blocks meaningful change.
Since its founding in the 1980s, Hezbollah has steadily changed what it means to be Shia in Lebanon, tying the fate of Lebanon's Shia to Iran's national interests.
Lebanon stands out in the Middle East as a rare experiment in freedom and coexistence, where diverse communities share power and liberties that are almost unheard of in the region.
