Hezbollah shifts the burdens of its war onto the Lebanese state

The issue of reconstructing conflict-affected areas in Lebanon has sparked a domestic political debate regarding financial responsibility. Hezbollah has placed the primary burden of housing, reconstruction, and supporting displaced persons onto the Lebanese government.

While Hezbollah stated it is working on a program to address the matter, the shift of war-related burdens onto the state apparatus highlights ongoing tensions over governance and accountability amid the ongoing conflict.
