Hezbollah alone will decide whether Lebanon - already on the brink of collapse - gets dragged into Israel-
25, Oct, 23The possibility of Hezbollah joining the conflict between Israel and Hamas raises questions about the group's priorities. Historically, Lebanon has been deeply affected by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with tensions spilling over into the country. Hezbollah, which operates within Lebanon's sectarian system, is Lebanon's strongest political and military force and enjoys support from Iran. However, Lebanon is already facing severe economic and political crises, and being dragged into another war could push the country further towards collapse. The decision to go to war ultimately lies with Hezbollah and Iran, rather than the Lebanese government.
