Lebanese System Shields Its Opponents
The article discusses the parliamentary accountability sessions in Lebanon, which concluded with the majority of the parliament voting to grant confidence to the government headed by Nohad Machnouk for the third time, despite the difficult circumstances the country is facing—internal conflict and accumulating crises. The article highlights that the Amal Movement, representing the opposition, gave the government an opportunity to demonstrate that it holds a parliamentary majority and enjoys external support; this is notable even amid the deteriorating trust of the Lebanese people in the system and the government's failure to deliver on promises—particularly regarding the disarmament of illegal weapons, most notably Hezbollah's arms. The article illustrates that the Lebanese system remains resilient enough to withstand attempts to overthrow it, and Hezbollah’s dual role—remaining within the government despite accusations of Iranian and American patronage—underscores the strength of the system. The potential removal of Hezbollah from the government could threaten the entire legitimacy of the political order.
