Sharia Supports Lebanon's Arab Integration and Dialogue with Hezbollah
The Lebanon file has been brought back to the forefront of Syrian calculations once again, as Syria moves toward adopting a new approach that includes the presence of multi-national forces led by Arab countries instead of direct Syrian intervention, with the goal of rebuilding its regional role after years of isolation. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is working on opening a dialogue with Hezbollah to settle the weapons issue, transitioning the party from an independent force to part of the Lebanese Armed Forces through the handover of weapons and the integration of its elements into the army. The question of Hezbollah's weapons—linked to the resistance against Israel—remains one of the main obstacles to stability, with Lebanese demanding that the state take control over military decisions. Assad also aims to persuade Lebanese actors that his new role is intended to help shape regional arrangements rather than restore old influence, while avoiding conflict with Hezbollah and maintaining regional and international balances. Meanwhile, Israel continues to monitor Hezbollah’s influence and any changes in its military position. The success of the Syrian initiative depends on the consensus among Lebanese and regional parties, especially Iran and Israel. It represents a significant test of Damascus's new regional stance and its strategy of playing different roles across the area.
