Hezbollah Loses Ground as Lebanon Turns Away

Hamas announced this month it will dissolve its government in Gaza. The move transfers control to a US-backed Palestinian committee. This was a key condition of the US-brokered peace deal between Israel and Hamas last year. The decision means Hamas will no longer govern the strip. However, the group’s military wing may still operate. The shift signals a broader change in the region. In Lebanon, Hezbollah now faces a similar challenge. Public support for the group is falling. Many Lebanese blame Hezbollah for dragging the country into conflict. The group’s role in regional wars has cost the nation economically and politically. As a result, its influence is weakening. Hezbollah’s future remains uncertain. The group must now reckon with a population that no longer backs its agenda.
