It gathered a massive crowd of supporters at the Raouch\u00e9 Rock, one of Lebanon\u2019s most famous landmarks on Beirut\u2019s seafront, and lit up the rock with the image of Nasrallah alongside his successor Hashem Safieddine, who was himself assassinated by Israel shortly after being appointed to replace him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a blatant challenge to the Lebanese government\u2019s orders, Hezbollah acted as it wished, disregarding both popular and official opposition to this move, as well as the political and security consequences that could follow. The question here is: \u201cDoes this act truly justify such tension in a country already stretched to breaking point?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It appears that it does, but not for the sake of honouring their \u201clegendary leader.\u201d Rather, the insistence on projecting Nasrallah\u2019s image on Raouch\u00e9 Rock is clear proof of political bankruptcy rarely seen in Lebanon, apart from parties wiped out by the civil war such as the Sunni Nasserist group al-Mourabitoun. After Hezbollah\u2019s defeat in the \u201cSupport for Gaza\u201d war against Israel, the party was weakened to the point where its only remaining options are to provoke the Lebanese government, seen as the weakest actor on the scene, or to inflame other sectarian groups.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Israel has effectively ended the myth of the \u201ccrown jewel of the resistance axis,\u201d the claim of being the \u201cstrongest regional player in the Shia Crescent,\u201d and the illusion of \u201cresistance.\u201d Today, challenging Prime Minister Nawaf Salam has become Hezbollah\u2019s only outlet. Needless to say, the party has no intention of handing over its weapons to the Lebanese state, despite being militarily defeated and internally fractured. Its leadership, and the community it drags along, lives in a state of denial, political as well as social, that drives it towards pointless defiance and reckless violence. Its constant threats of civil war are evidence of this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read also: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/963media.com\/en\/29\/09\/2025\/from-trauma-to-illusion-why-syrians-cling-to-saviours\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/963media.com\/en\/29\/09\/2025\/from-trauma-to-illusion-why-syrians-cling-to-saviours\/<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following the turn taken by Hezbollah\u2019s new Secretary-General, Naim Qassem, who recently hinted at opening a new page with Saudi Arabia, the party\u2019s defiance of Lebanese government decisions seems to be the only available tool to rally its Shia base. A growing number of the Shia elite are drifting away, accusing Hezbollah of dragging both their community and Lebanon into destructive conflicts for the sake of Iran\u2019s regional agenda.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is truly visible today is that this defiance is the party\u2019s \u201cUtmost.\u201d Hezbollah can no longer carry out the kinds of confrontations it once threatened. Projecting Nasrallah\u2019s image onto Raouch\u00e9 Rock is a trivial act, yet the party portrays it as if it were an achievement equal to controlling Lebanon; something it once did, but those days are now gone for good.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It should be recalled that this projection of Nasrallah and Safieddine\u2019s images on Raouch\u00e9 Rock stirred heated controversy in Lebanon over the past few days. MPs representing Beirut, mostly Sunni, strongly rejected it, viewing it as a provocation and a reminder of Hezbollah\u2019s armed assault on Beirut on 8 May 2008, when its fighters stormed Sunni neighbourhoods in a military operation that Nasrallah later called the \u201cGlorious Day.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prime Minister Salam issued a decree prohibiting the use of public spaces for any occasion without official authorisation and assigned security forces to enforce it. Mediation efforts with Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, Hezbollah\u2019s Shiite ally, produced a compromise: the party would be allowed to hold its gathering but would be barred from projecting Nasrallah\u2019s image on Raouch\u00e9 Rock. Hezbollah ignored the deal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lebanon is now open to all possibilities. Israel could interpret the image of Nasrallah on Raouch\u00e9 as proof of Hezbollah\u2019s dominance over the state. Should that happen, the American envoy Thomas Barrack\u2019s mediation efforts would collapse under an irrefutable excuse: Lebanon\u2019s government is too weak to restrain Hezbollah. Would that not be reason enough for Israel to return to the language of war?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the first anniversary of the killing of Hassan Nasrallah, the former Secretary-General of Hezbollah, in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut, the party chose to defy a large portion of Lebanese society, challenge the Lebanese government\u2019s decisions, and ignore mediation efforts.
