Hizbullah’s Struggle to Change the Lebanese Regime

Hizbullah’s Struggle to Change the Lebanese Regime

May 1, 2009 | Brig.-Gen. (ret.) Dr. Shimon Shapira
On April 3, 2009, Hizbullah published its political platform in advance of elections to the Lebanese parliament scheduled for June 7, 2009. The document calls for the abolition of sectarian politics and for the enactment of a new election law that would alter the equation of sectarian forces in Lebanon. The abolition of the existing political system will advance Hizbullah toward its fundamental goal: the establishment of an Islamic state and a complete Iranian takeover of Lebanon.
