Hizbullah Is Under Severe Pressure
(Ynet News) Ron Ben-Yishai - Hizbullah is currently under severe pressure on every front. Hundreds of thousands of Shiite residents were displaced from southern Lebanese villages. The Lebanese government, backed by all sects in the country, including some Shiites, rejects Hizbullah's claim to retain an independent armed force. Hizbullah leader Naim Qassem has failed to fill Nasrallah's shoes, while Nabih Berri, the aging speaker of parliament and leader of the Amal movement, has effectively become the leading political figure within the Shiite community.
