Hundreds of thousands of Shia Muslims are out in Beirut’s Dahiyeh district to support resistance to Israeli aggression and mark the 10th day of Muharram.
This is when Imam Hussein chose to fight back despite facing certain death — a final act of defiance that is understood by Shias as a call for them to stand with oppressed people worldwide.

Reading the Lebanon–Israel–US framework agreement, I struggle to see how any Lebanese government could sign it. It appears even more damaging than the May 1983 accord, a deal that collapsed within months, brought down the government, leading to 18 years of I$raeli occupation in the south.
On paper, it appears to concede what generations of Lebanese governments refused to concede: de facto recognition of Israel, restrictions on Lebanon’s ability to pursue international legal action, and acceptance of the continued occupation of sovereign Lebanese territory.
If implemented in its current form, as many as 1.2 million displaced Lebanese could find themselves permanently separated from their homes, with the government seemingly happy to sacrifice the south of Lebanon and its people to I$rael and Washington.
Anyone celebrating this as a victory for “sovereignty” should explain how surrendering such core elements of Lebanese sovereignty to satisfy I$raeli and US demands achieves that goal.
It also effectively collapses the Iran-US memorandum of understanding which had Lebanon front and centre with a ceasefire and immediate I$raeli withdrawal a key demand.
The people of the south say they have been abandoned once more, sacrificed for zionist and imperialist plans. Humiliation, treachery and betrayal are words being used amid widespread anger directed toward the Lebanese PM and President.
Talk of civil war may be premature. But history should be a warning. As it stands this deal seems to have set Lebanon on a dangerous collision course.
