Party Engages with Heart-Eaters
The article discusses Hezbollah's shift in stance regarding the war in Syria and its recognition of the importance of dialogue with the Syrian regime after more than a decade of conflict. It explains that the party was among the first to initiate the war, claiming to protect religious sites and defend Bashar al-Assad's regime to prevent its fall. This approach led to the destruction of Syria and Lebanon, the loss of Hezbollah's leaders and military strength, and Lebanon’s ongoing economic collapse along with Israeli occupation. The article highlights that Hezbollah initially rejected any dialogue with the opposition and relied solely on military force, but is now beginning to acknowledge the importance of stabilizing Syria, with its stance changing as the situation deteriorates—such as Iran's decline and Russia's loss of some influence. It underscores that Hezbollah's change in position necessitates a significant reassessment of its previous options, especially regarding war and negotiations with Israel. The piece emphasizes the need for the Lebanese state to take back control of decision-making concerning war and peace, to ensure the country's interests, while also questioning the heavy toll paid by the Syrian and Lebanese peoples as a result of Hezbollah's policies.
