The Lebanese crisis has receded from the headlines but has not gone
away. Today, all eyes are on the presidential election, the latest
arena in the ongoing struggle between pro- and anti-government forces.
Yet even if a compromise candidate is found, none of the country’s
underlying problems will have been addressed, chief among them the
status of Hizbollah’s weapons. If the election is to be more than a
mere prelude to the next showdown, all parties and their external
allies need to move away from maximalist demands and agree on a package
deal that accepts for now Hizbollah’s armed status while constraining
the ways in which its weapons can be used.
