Government Faces Hezbollah Street Test

The article opens with a discussion of the challenges facing the Lebanese government amidst deteriorating social and living conditions, amid rising prices and soaring fuel costs. This situation threatens a potential social explosion and a widening of street protests. Sources indicate that the increasing burdens on citizens—including shrinking salaries and rising prices—could lead to a rise in protest movements. While there is no apparent intention from Hezbollah or others to initiate a direct confrontation, they might exploit social and developmental demands to exert additional pressure on the government, especially with the possibility of a limited cabinet reshuffle. Additionally, areas such as Nabatieh and the Western Beqaa have seen social and protest actions, with expectations that upcoming demonstrations—politically directed—will intensify. Tensions and political disputes are expected to continue. **Summary:** The Lebanese government faces significant challenges due to the worsening economic and social conditions, with the likelihood of increased protests and street pressures, even though there is no clear intention from Hezbollah to engage in direct confrontation.
