context of the conflicts and the political situation in Lebanon

The Lebanon stands on a critical scabbard. The political and security challenges are enormous, especially against the background of a weakening economy and a fragile political environment. The state suffers from the consequences of sovereign insolvency, the explosion in the port of Beirut 2020, the Covid 19 pandemic and the Israel-Hezbollah War. The Lebanon is considered one of the most damaged countries by the World Bank, with a decline in the economy by around 34 % since 2019.

The political structure of Lebanon is based on a denominational democracy that distributes political power according to religious belonging. The new President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam are faced with the challenge of promoting political stability and economic recovery. In this fragility, Hezbollah, who organized social support for around 50,755 displaced persons and repairs at 332,000 destroyed houses, has an influential player in the country. At the same time, the liberalization and the reconstruction of the country are influenced by various foreign powers, including Iran, Syria, Israel, Saudi Arabia and the United States.

These are extremely complex dynamics that shape both the internal and external policies of Lebanon. The pressure of US interests on Lebanon, as well as the geopolitical tensions in the region, show how important it is that the Lebanese leaders make responsible decisions to ensure peace and stability in the country. The question remains whether these efforts will succeed, while external powers and aggressive strategies continue to heat the situation.
