US President Donald Trump has bluntly signaled, several times, that he would encourage a military intervention in Lebanon by the forces of Syrian President Ahmad Al-Sharaa. His logic seems to be that in the same way Al-Sharaa’s forces succeeded in toppling Bashar Assad and his regime in Syria, who had support from Hezbollah fighters, they could also defeat Hezbollah in Lebanon. However, any Syrian intervention in Lebanon would be disastrous, with an even worse outcome than the decades-long military occupation by the former Assad regime.

Arab League Reverses Stance on Hezbollah, Removes Terrorist Label
The Arab League will no longer refer to Hezbollah as a terrorist group, the Assistant Secretary-General of the Arab League, Hossam Zaki, announced on Saturday.
“The Arab League does not maintain official terrorist lists and does not seek to label entities as terrorist organizations,” Hossam Zaki said during an interview with Cairo’s Al Qahera TV.
Zaki noted that member states of the Arab League have agreed to reverse a March 2016 decision to blacklist Hezbollah, thus no longer labeling it as “terrorist”.
