By Ibrahim Al-Amin – A Critical Summary

From Imposed Presidency to Imposed Government

President Joseph Aoun came to power through external decision-making, not internal consensus. Nawaf Salam’s appointment to form the government followed the same path—no consultation, no partnership. What’s unfolding isn’t a political settlement, but a foreign-imposed agenda on Lebanon.

Post-War Pressure on the Resistance

The ceasefire agreement after Israel’s assault didn’t reflect the scale of sacrifices made by the resistance. Despite its commitment to the truce, Israel—backed by Washington and Riyadh—launched an internal campaign to disarm Hezbollah under the banner of “exclusive arms control.”

Misreading or Deliberate Exploitation?

The resistance’s flexibility in domestic matters was interpreted as weakness. This emboldened its opponents to try severing its alliance with Speaker Nabih Berri and push for deeper concessions.

The American Paper: Flashpoint

Aoun and Salam endorsed a U.S. plan to disarm Hezbollah—even though Israel itself rejected it. Hezbollah responded with a firm stance: its weapons are a red line, and it’s ready for a “Karbala-style” confrontation if necessary.

Berri Shifts His Position

Speaker Berri, initially seeking calm, realized the plan wasn’t a compromise but a direct attack on the resistance. He warned against dragging the army into conflict with Hezbollah, stressing the catastrophic impact this would have on national unity.

The Outcome: A Government Without Partnership

Aoun and Salam no longer represent a national partnership—they’re executing an American–Saudi–Israeli agenda. The question now isn’t just about the government’s usefulness, but its legitimacy under such bias.

Political Bottom Line

The resistance hasn’t been defeated, but it faces a coordinated project to undermine it politically and militarily. Its continued participation in government is now in doubt, as the internal–external confrontation over its weapons enters a new phase.
