Hezbollah, Future Movement find 'delicate stability' for now
The dialogue between Hezbollah and the Future Movement continues despite the limited results it has yielded so far.
After the Quneitra attack that Israel launched Jan. 18 and Hezbollah responded to in Shebaa Farms Jan. 28, it appeared that Hezbollah and Israel have one thing in common — neither of them wants an escalation.
Hezbollah proved that it still can fight fire with fire and that its power of deterrence still stands.
Although this confrontation did not change anything in the balance of power or the rules of engagement, it shed light on a main variable: Iran’s attempt to fight Israel through the Golan Heights. This way, Iran would expand its presence along Israel’s northern borders with Syria and Lebanon.
Notably, Hezbollah officially acknowledged that Iran was participating on the ground in Syria. Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah's statements about the fusion of Iranian and Lebanese blood in the fighting in Quneitra revealed cards that had been hidden in the past.
