Can Washington Turn Lebanon's Military Win into Politics

The article discusses the efforts of the United States to transform its military victory in Lebanon into a new political and security system that ensures lasting stability and prevents a return to pre-war conditions. The American strategy focuses on strengthening the authority of the Lebanese state, primarily through supporting the Lebanese army and restricting the influence of informal military networks, with the aim of establishing a new security balance that prevents the formation of an independent security environment outside the state's control. The article argues that this approach is part of a broader framework that involves reshaping regional power dynamics, especially in Iraq and Syria, to build a regional system that promotes a state-based order and limits the influence of armed groups, while ensuring the sustainability of the security system and reducing reliance on weapons outside state authority. It also discusses the challenges facing this strategy, particularly in redefining Hezbollah’s identity and transitioning it from a military organization to a political party gradually surrendering its arms. This transition is seen as essential for maintaining Lebanon’s stability, encouraging the return of its political and constitutional role, and preserving the state's sovereignty over its weapons.
