Lebanon amid costly wait
Lebanon is awaiting developments in the formation of Israel’s new government and the outcome of the US-Iranian confrontation, amid fears that momentum behind the framework agreement with Israel may ebb after Lebanon failed to capitalize on US interest in its affairs. Politicians say the state should use this waiting period to open a dialogue with Hezbollah and reassert its presence in the south, restore normal life in the towns and provide residents with alternative forms of support—all while addressing the weapons issue and security arrangements. This comes as objections grow within the Shiite community to dragging Lebanon into regional wars, amid declining confidence in the state’s ability to manage the challenges and a lack of guarantees of near-term external support.
