Lebanon's Maze to Opportunity
As 13 months of war come to an end, and over 1.2 million Lebanese displaced make their way back to their devasted towns and villages, the relief at the end of this latest round of conflict is mixed with cautious hope that perhaps a pathway out of these repeated rounds of war and the collapse of governance and economic institutions is possible.

Hezbollah Has Weakened Iran
It’s finally over. After 14 months of fighting, including the worst the country has seen in decades, the guns of Lebanon have fallen still. Nothing, of course, is certain: the Israel-Hezbollah agreement may yet flounder, and both sides have already violated some of its terms mere hours into its 60-day runtime. Yet the ceasefire continues to hold, and that matters. Shaken to its core, its leaders dead and its infrastructure shattered, Hezbollah is no longer the Lebanese leviathan. Rather, the US-brokered deal mandates the government in Beirut to fill the gaping void Hezbollah leaves behind.

Iran to Hand Over Nizar Zakka to Hezbollah, Not Lebanese State
Iran will hand over Lebanese detainee Nizar Zakka to Hezbollah within the next few hours, the semi-official Fars news agency announced on Monday citing an unnamed source.
"This is done solely because of the respect for and dignity of Hassan Nasrallah," the source stressed, adding that no negotiations had taken place with any person or government regarding this issue.
Earlier, Zakka’s attorney, Majed Dimashqieh, had told Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper that his client was set to arrive in Beirut within hours, stressing that Zakka’s release “was the result of concerted efforts" by Lebanese officials, headed by Aoun and Prime Minister Saad Hariri and General Security chief Abbas Ibrahim who headed to Tehran on Sunday to finalize the release procedures.
Iran sentenced Zakka, a Lebanese citizen with permanent U.S. residency, to 10 years in prison and a $4.2 million fine in 2016 after he was found guilty of collaborating against the state.
Zakka, an information technology expert, had been invited to Iran by a government official a year earlier, but then disappeared after attending a conference in Teheran.
