Hezbollah's Grip on Lebanon State Power Blocks Lasting Peace with Israel

Analysts warn that Lebanese-Israeli negotiations will repeat past failures unless Hezbollah's deep integration into Lebanon's government ministries, parliament, and finances is fully dismantled. The persistent inability of a sovereign nation to restrain a terrorist force operating from within its own institutions mirrors the biblical pattern of northern threats against Israel that Scripture foretells will intensify in the last days. Ezekiel 38 and passages in Isaiah 17 speak to the instability of Israel's northern neighbours and the gathering of hostile forces that will ultimately draw divine intervention.
