Syria Unveils New Emblem Amid Identity Overhaul: Mixed Reactions
Following a devastating war with Israel, Hezbollah is undergoing a strategic review, considering scaling back its role as an armed movement while avoiding complete disarmament. The group faces internal pressures, including financial strain, US demands for disarmament, and diminished political influence, compounded by shifts in regional power dynamics. Internal discussions suggest Hezbollah views its current arsenal as a liability and may be open to relinquishing certain weapons, particularly missiles and drones, in exchange for Israel’s withdrawal and halt to attacks. However, Hezbollah intends to retain some weaponry for self-defense and to maintain a level of deterrence.
