Five months after United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701 ended last summer’s war between Israel and Hezbollah, Lebanon’s political landscape has descended into chaos. Since the implementation of a ceasefire last August, the Shiite militia led by Hassan Nasrallah has agitated for greater “power-sharing” and vowed to bring down the Western-backed government of Lebanese prime minister Fouad Siniora. Thus far, Hezbollah’s brinkmanship has diverted attention from its disarmament and scuttled the creation of an international tribunal to try the killers of former Lebanese premier Rafiq Hariri—both key demands of the international community. Meanwhile, rumors swirl about a possible deal between Iran and Saudi Arabia to reshape the Lebanese government, with Iranian proxies and Saudi-supported Sunni factions coming together to edge out Syrian-supported parliamentarians. As sectarian tensions mount, AEI will host Lebanese parliament member Walid Jumblatt, a leader of the Cedar Revolution, who will talk about these pressing issues.
