Lebanon marks May 25: Support costs weaken deterrence
Reviving the memory of Israel's withdrawal from southern Lebanon on May 25, 2000, brings back the discussion about the political and regional shifts Lebanon has undergone since that time, especially regarding the concept of deterrence and the weapons of resistance. Analyses indicate that the withdrawal was not due to the resistance's ability to deter, but rather resulted from regional and international calculations. The role of weapons has diminished from being a tool of resistance to becoming a means that hinders the stability of the Lebanese state, especially as Iranian influence in the region has waned. Recent developments also show that the deterrence equation promoted by Hezbollah faces challenges, and the concept previously viewed as a guarantee for Lebanon’s protection is no longer effective in the same manner.
