In the past 48 hours, Lebanon has experienced a significant geopolitical event that may have far-reaching implications for the entire region. This moment is likely to be recorded as a decisive chapter in the region’s history. Why?

Firstly, the decision to assassinate Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, was made while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was in the United States, specifically during the United Nations General Assembly session. The location and timing are symbolic for two reasons: it suggests that the decision was made with American consent, and it implies that the principles of international justice, as represented by the UN, are subordinated to Israeli interests. This signals that we are living in an era where power overrides justice.

Secondly, Nasrallah’s assassination would represent a significant blow to Hezbollah. Even the group’s most loyal supporters cannot ignore this reality. Nasrallah was a charismatic leader, a skilled military commander, and a master strategist. Replacing him would not be easy, as he was a unique figure within Hezbollah. His leadership style and capabilities would be difficult, if not impossible, to replicate.
