Hezbollah's grip on Lebanon is weakening as power dynamics shift in the Middle East. The group has been battered by 14 months of fighting against Israel and the toppling of its main ally in Syria, Bashar al-Assad. Iran, Hezbollah's patron, has also been weakened. Lebanon's Parliament recently elected a new president, seen as a crucial step towards stability and a concession by Hezbollah. While the group remains powerful, analysts believe its unshakable dominance in Lebanon is over. However, experts caution that Hezbollah may still rebound in the coming months.
