After nearing complete collapse.. Is Hezbollah behind the major Lebanese crisis?
With all the internal squabbles where state institutions are collapsing one after the other, Beirut looks like it has been in the final days of the Byzantine kingdom. This process is driven by a series of hypothetical choices, with the exception of those that are taken virtually, especially after the failure again to elect a president this week. This is a great example of how the regime is banned and held hostage until it complies.
State collapse
The newspaper reported that what is happening in Lebanon means that it is heading towards more paralysis and further erosion of institutions. The tenure of the governor of the central bank will end this coming July, and the tenure of the army chief will end after a few months. Neither of them can be renewed or a date currently set for their replacement.
Lebanon is a country without a president, a paralyzed parliament, a caretaker government with limited powers, and soon without a judiciary, army, or effective banking system.
The newspaper added: What is happening in Lebanon is a complete crime, there is no direct responsibility for what is happening, but it seems that Hezbollah is behind this collapse, with the saga of a failed presidential election, a corrupt governor of the central bank, blocking any progress forward, and destroying any attempts to get out of the crisis, the truth is that Lebanon urgently needs a president but Hezbollah is not.
Perfect crisis
The international newspaper reported that the current situation of the country is ideal for Hezbollah’s operations, with the collapse of the banking sector and the financial collapse, Lebanon is now a largely monetary economy that has become sustainable. Through the regular flow of dollars from the Lebanese diaspora to support their families, the entire economy, and its global relations, is turning into a giant money laundering machine. Bickering brings the country down, while celebrations in Hezbollah continue.
The big question now is how long the presidency will remain vacant, as the post has been vacant for long periods of time. If there is a pattern to be observed in recent years, it is growing periods of political paralysis: 18 months between 2006 and 2008, 29 months between 2013 and 2016, and an average of nine months to form a government, by these measures, still at a relatively early stage of the current crisis.
