Makin’ the war with words
Al-Manar reports that Druze leader Walid Junblatt’s recent comments on civil war were welcomed by Israel, whose newspapers framed Junblatt’s words as a direct statement to Sayyid Hasan Nasrallah.
Hezbullah is very keen on the idea that Israel is a central force behind internal conflicts in Lebanon. Not necessarily that Israel is propelling the conflict forward, but that Israel is the one party that will benefit from instability in Lebanon. So, when politicians such as Junblatt make very divisive speeches that are seen as encouraging conflict, Hezbullah views this as further helping Israel in their ultimate goal of destabilizing Lebanon.
