Countering Hezbollah’s Reconstruction Politics and the Council for South Lebanon
In recent weeks, U.S. policy toward Lebanon has been narrowly focused on the process of disarming Iran-backed Hezbollah, as called for in the June trilateral framework agreement. Less attention has been paid to postwar reconstruction, another critical element of the agreement. Early indications suggest that Beirut’s current approach to this undertaking could wind up strengthening rather than marginalizing Hezbollah, since the government is apparently relying on the Council for South Lebanon (CSL)—an institution closely associated with Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri, the head of the Amal Party and Hezbollah’s chief political ally—to manage much of the process.

Head of the Kataeb’s Economic and Social Council Jean Tawile said on Wednesday that yesterday's failed changes to the Lebanon 1956 Banking Secrecy law highlighted 3 major points.
"Those in authority to lift the banking secrecy are the main pillars of the corrupt system," he tweeted.
"Removing the investigation of "other financial crimes" will limit the law's scope and provide discharge on many crimes," he added.
"It reveals the political classes' true intention not to reach a deal with the IMF," he concluded.
