A realistic, step-by-step approach to restoring Lebanese sovereignty

A Realistic Approach to Restoring Lebanese Sovereignty

Seizing Lebanon's once-in-a-generation opportunity requires resolving its core dysfunction: reclaiming the state's monopoly on force and its exclusive authority to determine matters of war and peace.

Beirut, backed by deepening US support, must focus on achieving tangible milestones and strategic victories that make Hizballah's disarmament unstoppable and the state's reassertion of authority irreversible.

This article is part of the series "Seizing Lebanon's Moment," a joint initiative with the Italian Institute for International Political Studies (ISPI), featuring top scholars, policymakers, and professionals from Lebanon, Europe, and the United States.

The contributors aim to identify Lebanon's critical problems and propose specific reforms to help the country recover from its deep, multi-year crisis.
