With Iran plummeting and Assad sinking, Hezbollah is also going down.
The days of its intoxication with power are gone. The Shiite axis is
fighting for its life and Hezbollah has become the most hated
organization in the Arab world. Those betting on the Syrian president,
who butchers with no mercy, are crushing along with him.
One need not get excited about the speeches delivered by Secretary
General Hassan Nasrallah; these are almost comic speeches, portraying
the organization as stable and aggressive. Yet does he really think
that Israel's public opinion buys into his statements as it did in the
past?
The economic oxygen supply that arrived from Iran and kept Hezbollah
alive is drying up. Iran faces the economic threat of paralyzing
sanctions, its regime is on the defensive, and it has no money for
adventures on the Lebanese front. This means that Hezbollah has no
money to pay salaries and fund projects.
The group's stock is plummeting in Lebanon's Shiite community as well.
The country's Shiite citizens are disturbed by the one-sided support
Nasrallah grants Assad, knowing that the score with them may be
settled later on. And what will happen to Hezbollah and to them should
Iran's regime collapse?
Hezbollah faces existential concerns over the fall of its allies, as
well as the Hariri murder trial, while sustaining harsh criticism in
Lebanon's public opinion and political establishment. This is why
Nasrallah declares that he is not obligated to follow Iran's
directives. He seeks to display authenticity. "Iran doesn't command
us," he said. "Even if a strike hits Tehran's nuclear sites, Iran will
not ask us to do anything and it does not expect a thing. When the
time comes, we shall decide on our own which steps to take."
 
 
2-headed creature
There's truth to these words. Hezbollah has always been a two-headed
creature – an Iranian head and a domestic Lebanese head. In some
cases, one head's interests clashed with the other. For example, in
2006, when Nasrallah dared to embark on a war with Israel without
seeking Iran's permission. The Iranian's have not forgotten this.
As more people in Lebanon smell Hezbollah's weakness, more voices are
calling for the organization to disarm. Hezbollah is the only militia
permitted to operate in Lebanon, and the group tries to portray itself
as a patriotic organization protecting Lebanon from Israel, rather
than as an Iranian puppet.
However, this argument is also baseless, as there is no confrontation
between Lebanon and Israel, and hence there is no need for an actual
army, armed with tens of thousands of missiles, to seemingly defend
Lebanon. The group that portrays itself as Lebanon's defender is in
fact the main threat jeopardizing the country. Hezbollah itself is the
cause of the conflict.
And what about striking Israel at this time? Hezbollah can do it, but
realizes it would be suicide. Such move would not bring any benefits
to itself, to Assad, or to Iran. The attention of the Syrian rebels or
the world's attention to Iran would not be diverted as result of such
Hezbollah strike. The opposite is true: The pressure on Syria and Iran
will merely intensify.
Moreover, Israel is not expected to settle for merely weakening
Hezbollah this time around, as was the case in 2006. This time, Israel
may seek the group's destruction should Hezbollah attack.
And still, Nasrallah's and his army's control in southern Lebanon is
convenient for Israel. The Shiite Hezbollah maintains the area's
stability, prevents Sunni groups such as al-Qaeda and Global Jihad
from operating there, and also prevents Palestinian terror groups from
reaching the border with Israel.
Israel has no interest in intervening in any way whatsoever, neither
in Lebanon nor in Syria. Hezbollah's trouble vis-à-vis the Middle
East's Sunnis and vis-à-vis Syria are its own business, and this is
how it should be.
