Hezbollah's funding challenge

The article addresses the issue of Hezbollah's future financing in Lebanon. The focus has shifted away from its weapons or political position to the crucial question of who will fund its military and social infrastructure if Iran reduces its financial support. A statement from the son-in-law of Iran's former Supreme Leader clarified that the party will no longer be able to rely on Iranian funds as it previously did. He called for strengthening local resources, donations, Zakat (almsgiving), and Khums (a religious tax) as alternative sources. This shift raises concerns about some of the financial burden moving into Lebanon itself, thereby placing the issue on the agendas of sovereignty and the economy. The need for monitoring funding sources and preventing the emergence of parallel financial systems that could use the national economy to finance the party’s activities is increasingly urgent.
