The Israeli newspaper “Maariv” published a new report in which it said that Lebanon stands on the brink of a new civil war, 50 years after the outbreak of a similar previous war in 1975.
The report translated by “Lebanon 24” says that “Hizbullah has passed the most distress in its history since its foundation 4 decades ago, as it witnessed economic distress that began before the last war between Lebanon and Israel, not to mention the devastation that affected the villages of southern Lebanon and the Bekaa as a result of that war, in addition to the assassination of the Secretary -General of the former Hezbollah Sayyid Hassan Nass.
He added: “It is also added to these matters that Nawaf Salam takes over the presidency of the government in Lebanon, where the Shiite duo in the country (Hezbollah and the Amal Movement) lost, a third broken in the Council of Ministers, which enabled them to veto any government decision and even topple it. Now, this government promotes the initiative to collect weapons from all militias in Lebanon, including H. Hezbollah.”
The report stopped at the speech delivered by the Secretary -General of “Hizbullah”, Sheikh Naim Qasim, last Friday, noting that the latter’s words are “earthquake events”, and he continued: “Qasim’s voice carried a clear threat to Lebanon, as he stated that Hezbollah will not hand over his weapon, while the Lebanese government accused its initiative to collect arms serving Israel and America.”
He continued: “The timing of the threatening speech was not at all, as it came a few days after the visit of an Iranian delegation headed by Ali Larijani to Beirut, and the President of the Republic Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam asked the Iranian expatriate, not to interfere in the internal affairs of Lebanon. After the polite meeting between the diplomats, Larijani unleashed his imagination. Hezbollah is the fire in the streets of the capital, Beirut.
He continued: “On the next day of the threat of Qasim, most of the commentators in the Arab media explained that this was in fact an Iranian message, not only for the Lebanese government, but also for the United States. Iran wants to point out that it still has a footsteps presented in Lebanon, and that the issue of Hizbullah is a bargaining paper in negotiations with the Americans on the nuclear program. Likewise, Lebanese commentators say that the truth has seen the light, and that Hezbollah is not in. The truth is a maqin organization against Israel, but an organization whose only goal is to seize Lebanon and implement an Iranian foreign agenda.
The report says that there is an important question that has not been answered, which is the following: “Can Hezbollah really implement its threats? And what is the balance of power between it and the Lebanese army?” He added: “It is important to refer to some important data when assessing the results of this conflict .. Although Hezbollah was subjected to harsh strikes from the Israeli army, but the Lebanese army has never been fighting for years. The opposite, Hizbullah has extensive experience in the wars, in the Syrian civil war, about a decade ago, and recently in the campaign against Israel. 1975 ”.
He continued: “However, it will be difficult for Iran to support Hizbullah if the war broke out, following the closure of the wild passages, and after the fall of the Assad regime in Syria and the rise of a very hostile regime in Damascus. The war, while the Lebanese government is under severe pressure from the United States to continue its initiative, and also has the support of the Arab world.
He continued: “But until now, no Arab country has offered military aid to Lebanon to implement the difficult and dangerous step of collecting weapons. With this, Hizbullah continues to use the usual excuse to defend Lebanon against Israel.”
He added: “Since the eighties of the last century, Hezbollah says that Israel occupies parts of Lebanon, and after the withdrawal of the Israeli army from most of them at the time, the party said that its presence is existing against Israel, which is still controlling southern Lebanon within the so -called security tape. After Israel withdrew from the south in 2000, Hzel said that Israel controls the farmer of Shebaa. With the five sites controlled by the Israeli army in southern Lebanon after the ceasefire.
He continued: “Unfortunately, the behavior of Hezbollah is irrational, and as usual, it is not in line with the Lebanese interests. Many Lebanese feel angry with the involvement of Hizbullah for them in a war that is not their war, while Gaza was never benefited, but rather has led to tremendous destruction in Lebanon and the killing of thousands of people. Long. A civil war? Time is enough to prove it. ”
