Another victory for the terrorist gang Hizballah, who will now have veto power over any Lebanese government decision: Lebanon’s feuding factions reach agreement.

BEIRUT, Lebanon - Lebanon’s feuding factions reached a breakthrough deal Wednesday that ends the country’s 18-month political stalemate, but also gives the militant Hezbollah group and its allies veto over any government decision.

The deal, reached with the help of Arab mediators, was immediately praised by Iran and Syria, which back Hezbollah. But it appears certain to accelerate fears in the West over Hezbollah’s new power.
