In this WND article, Guy P. Nohra argues that Lebanon’s supposed ceasefire with Israel is being badly misunderstood because the real conflict is not between two sovereign states, but between Israel and Hezbollah.
- Nohra says Lebanon’s army has not been in direct military conflict with Israel since 1948, making the idea of a formal “ceasefire” with Lebanon misleading.
- The article frames Hezbollah as an Iranian-backed “state within a state” that has captured major parts of Lebanon’s political and security structure.
- Nohra argues that Lebanon still exists formally as a country, but no longer fully controls what happens inside its own borders.
- Hezbollah’s involvement in the Gaza war and other regional escalations, according to the author, happened without real control or authorization from the Lebanese government.
- The piece says media coverage often misses the central problem: Lebanon is trying to negotiate peace in a war being driven by a militia it cannot command.
- Nohra describes the current arrangement as a “shadow peace” or “managed instability,” not a genuine resolution.
- The article argues that any ceasefire that leaves Hezbollah’s independent military power intact will only produce another temporary pause before the next escalation.
- Nohra connects today’s crisis to Lebanon’s long history of weakened institutions, civil conflict, sectarian power shifts, and armed factions filling the vacuum.
- The author concludes that real peace is impossible unless Lebanon confronts the reality that decisions of war and peace have effectively been outsourced to Hezbollah and its Iranian patrons.
