(L'Orient Today-Lebanon) Anthony Samrani - In Lebanon, dozens of villages have been wiped off the map. All predominantly Shiite areas associated with Hizbullah have been emptied of their populations and partially destroyed. Hizbullah has lost its secretary-general, its entire top military command and much of its arsenal. Israel can continue the war for months. We do not have that luxury. Hizbullah's new secretary-general Naim Qassem genuinely seems to believe that Hizbullah is winning, that Israel is on the verge of collapse, and that time is on his side. Hizbullah consistently overestimates its strength relative to its adversary and remains stuck in the mindset of 2006. This approach has led to the disaster we are all experiencing, especially the party's popular base, even more so than the rest of the Lebanese population. Hizbullah must accept its defeat. It must withdraw from south of the Litani River, begin a process of disarmament, distance itself from Iran, and reconsider its relationship with Lebanon and the Lebanese people. Accepting this reality is essential if we are ever to escape this grim escalation, which leads only to suffering for both those who endure it and those who support it.2024-11-12 00:00:00Full Article
