@Bahareh814 I have an appearance today (Monday) at 5pm, Beirut time on BBC to discuss the latest developments in Lebanon.

The book that predicted Hezbollah’s eventual demise is titled Hizbullah: A Mission to Nowhere (published in 2019 by Lexington Books). Khashan argues that Hezbollah fundamentally lacks an actionable or sustainable political mission and has no genuine intellectual scope.

@s9_l6 What is the answer?

[Geopolitical Futures @GPFutures]

The war in Iran is part of this broader effort to open the way for an Israel-centered Middle East order. Yet, as Israel’s power grows, alarm is spreading within Turkey and Arab nations – including those with official ties to Israel – which view genuine coexistence with Israel as unrealistic without equality or respect for regional boundaries. These countries are now positioning themselves for a new regional order different from the one Israel has in mind. - Hilal Khashan

This war isn’t Lebanon’s - it’s Hezbollah’s.

@HKhashan shows how ordinary Lebanese are distancing themselves from a conflict they didn’t choose.
