By Kali Robinson - The Council on Foreign Relation -

Summary

  • Hezbollah wields significant power in Lebanon, where it operates as both a Shiite political party and militant group.

  • It opposes Israel and Western powers operating in the Middle East, and it functions as a proxy of Iran, its largest benefactor.

  • The group has faced unprecedented scrutiny from the Lebanese public amid the country’s political and economic crisis.
