Lebanon cannot be saved while it is controlled by Hezbollah

There is a mix of denial, narcissism and nostalgia in Lebanese political media content. Similarly, when it comes to regional affairs, everything in Lebanon is framed under the optics of regional rivalry.

Lebanon is now Hezbollah and there is no way to change this through discussions. Analysts keep repeating that, if Lebanon is abandoned, then it will fall even further into the hands of the Iranians.

Lebanon cannot mend relations with others before it mends itself. This means it must stop framing things as regional geopolitical issues and start facing the domestic danger, which is Hezbollah. The latest events have proven that the country is fully under its control.
