How Hezbollah Ends
For Hezbollah, these are trying times. After decades of being Lebanon’s predominant political and military organization, the group is reeling. During a yearlong war with Israel, it lost much of its military infrastructure. Its leadership ranks were decimated. Battered by conflict, in November, it signed a cease-fire agreement with Israel and pulled its forces from Lebanon’s south—Hezbollah’s traditional domain. Not long after, Bashar al-Assad’s regime fell in Syria, severing supply lines between the organization and Iran, its primary patron. Now Hezbollah is also at risk of losing the support of Lebanese Shiites, who make up its domestic base.

The Imperative of Implementing UN Resolution 1701 in Lebanon-Israel Relations
On August 11, 2006, United Nations Resolution 1701 was issued, marking the conclusion of the conflict between Hezbollah and Israel, which had commenced on July 12 of the same year.
Since its issuance eighteen years ago, there has been a period of relative calm along the Lebanese-Israeli border until the eruption of the Battle of the Al-Aqsa Flood Operation on October 7, 2023.
Recent events have reignited discussions regarding the urgent necessity for the full implementation of Resolution 1701. The goal is not only to establish a lasting ceasefire but also to find a comprehensive solution to the tensions between Lebanon and Israel.
The United Nations regards the implementation of Resolution 1701 as crucial for regional peace. Conversely, the failure to execute it poses a significant threat to regional security, particularly impacting the Lebanese population.
While Hezbollah plays a central role in implementing the resolution, effective execution relies on Israeli compliance.
It is evident that the practical enforcement of Resolution 1701 hinges on the cessation of hostilities in the Gaza Strip.
Meanwhile, debates at local, regional, and international levels persist regarding the implementation of the resolution, with the possibility of another international intervention should the situation in Lebanon escalate into war.
