Saudia Arabia urged Hezbollah to rejoin Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri’s government on Wednesday, warning that the volatile country could slide back into violence.
There are so many world forces focused on this moment, it’s like Archduke Ferdinand getting ready to go out for a little drive.
Turkey/Saudi Arabia playing for dominance in the region, challenging Iran. Syria knowing it has to go with the strongest wind, Europe needing a stable Lebanon to be able to get a natural gas supply from Israel, France wanting to reintegrate Lebanon into its sphere, Israel hoping to be a quiet observer, the UN debating whether it needs to evacuate their peacekeepers (who are only present when there is already a stable quiet), Iran needing Hezbollah to stay belligerent, Iran needing Syria to stay within its sphere…
This is when diplomats earn their money.
