Hezbollah has no right to lecture Lebanon on treason after dragging it into a war that served only Iran’s and Israel’s Interests

Hezbollah made the decision—Lebanon paid the priceOn March 2, Hezbollah launched projectiles at Israel without authorization from the Lebanese government, Parliament or Army. Hezbollah publicly claimed that its attack was connected to Lebanese territory and Israeli aggression, not to the war involving Iran. The decision to fight, negotiate, sign an agreement or enforce a ceasefire must belong exclusively to the Lebanese state. Hezbollah must first acknowledge that it took Lebanon into war without national consent, that its decision served Iran’s strategic interests, and that the Lebanese people—particularly the Shiite community—paid an unbearable price. It was Hezbollah’s decision to start a war Lebanon never authorized, could not control and was forced to endure.
