The Emptying of Baalbek Is a Moment to Take Stock
“Large numbers of people continue to flee their homes every day, as Israel’s military operations in Lebanon have been going on unabated.” These disturbing words could be from almost any news report about Israel’s invasion of its northern neighbour over the past month. However, they can be found in a report by the Norwegian Refugee Council’s Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre issued on July 27, 2006.

A Future Without Hezbollah
At the end of September, when Israel’s campaign to destroy Hezbollah was reaching its height, I met one of the group’s supporters in a seaside café in western Beirut. He was a middle-aged man with a thin white beard and the spent look of someone who had not slept for days. He was an academic of sorts, not a fighter, but his ties to Hezbollah were deep and long-standing.

Bou Saab Says U.S. Must Opt for Dialogue, Not Sanctions, with Hezbollah
Defense Minister Elias Bou Saab said that dialogue would help deal with the Middle East challenges, stressing that it would prove more successful than sanctions.
Speaking at the World Economic Forum on the Middle East and North Africa in Jordan, Bou Saab stressed the need to deal differently with Lebanon given that it is a "mosaic country", saying that the U.S. should reconsider its approach on Hezbollah and opt for dialogue with the group.
"I believe the policy on Lebanon with that regard is not going to be paying off," he said.
"Lebanese people know how to handle the situation internally without creating another civil war in Lebanon. No-one should or could be pressing us in one direction that may create instability in my country," he added.
"We are talking with the Americans. We are having dialogues with them and we are explaining the situation," Bou Saab noted. "Hezbollah they are Lebanese, they are part of the Lebanese community, the have mayors, they have elected members of the Parliament, they are in the government."
