Lebanon faces a delicate balancing act, navigating internal political rivalries amid growing U.S. and Israeli Occupation pressure to secure concessions and avoid the specter of war.

On August 12, 2025, Hebrew media abruptly began reporting on what they described as “months of quiet maneuvering behind the scenes” to install prominent Palestinian businessman Samir Hulileh as Gaza’s prospective governor.

The Syrian coast, still a stronghold of officers and remnants of the former Assad regime, remains a breeding ground for organized networks working to undermine the new Syrian state’s efforts to restore stability.

While innocent civilians in Gaza are being bombed and the besieged Strip is reduced to rubble, some Middle Eastern regimes have chosen not to side with the victims of aggression—but instead to deepen partnerships with those funding the Israeli Occupation.
