Political Islam with Arms and Its Evolution
The article examines the transformations of militant political Islam, focusing in particular on the experience of Jabhat al-Nusra (later Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham), and its evolution from armed groups into political actors, highlighting how regional and international support has paved the way for this shift. It emphasizes that these transformations are diverse, including attempts by other factions such as Hamas and efforts to adapt to changing political conditions—especially under regional and international pressures, such as coordination with the United States and Israel. The article discusses the possibility of strategic changes in positions, similar to what happened with Hezbollah, which may move toward becoming a major political player in Lebanon and utilizing various resistance tools, while Israel continues to push for the disarmament of Hamas and to maintain control. It also underscores that these developments are taking place within a context marked by shifting regional and global dynamics, ongoing tensions, and conflicts. There is concern that major changes may persist until some factions fully adapt to the political system, with external pressures and risks remaining present.
