A framework agreement with Israel is deeply dividing Lebanon, raising serious concerns about a slide towards civil war. The core issue fueling this division is the potential disarmament of Hezbollah, the powerful Shia political and military group. This prospect is creating a significant rift between Hezbollah’s supporters and other Lebanese factions. Experts warn that attempts to disarm Hezbollah could trigger violent clashes between Shia communities and other groups within the country. The agreement’s implementation is fraught with difficulty, given the complex sectarian dynamics and political landscape of Lebanon. The situation underscores the fragility of Lebanon’s already unstable political system and the potential for renewed widespread conflict. The deal’s impact extends beyond domestic politics, potentially influencing regional stability.
