Lebanon's Government is hostage to Hezbollah
By Walid Phares
In an interview with Neil Cavuto on Fox News I argued that Hezbollah will continue to receive supplies and support from Iran via Syria through the Lebanese-Syrian borders, which do not exist. Hezbollah's deadliest and long range weapons are most likely redeployed in the central and northern Bekaa. On the other hand, answering a question, I stated that the only player in this whole equation which is supposed to call on the international community to intervene and would order the Lebanese Army to deploy, is obviously the Lebanese Government. Unfortunately the Seniora cabinet has a gun aimed at its head, and that is Hezbollah. If it had the courage to act, the Government would have ordered all these measures. The concern is, if no multinational force deploys fast, that Hezbollah would crumble this cabinet and form a Government of its own. Click to see video.
