The memoirs of former Syrian Vice President Abdul Halim Khaddam reveal important details about the meetings and decisions that led to the deterioration of relations between Syria and Lebanon. These include the selection of Bashar al-Assad as Lebanon's president in 1998 and Syria's role in the extension of Lebanese President Emile Lahoud's term in 2004. The memoirs indicate that Bashar al-Assad threatened during his meetings with Rafiq Hariri, and that he had full control over Lebanon's affairs after governance was transferred to security agencies. Syria's investments and escalating tensions in Lebanon contributed to the escalation, culminating in UN Security Council Resolution 1559, which placed the Syrian regime under United Nations scrutiny. The memoirs highlight Syria's role in the political and security decline in the region.
