"They've been talking a lot about this in their discourse, which is Hezbollah is not outside the state. So what the government or the authorities are trying to do is to portray themselves as being the state, as conflating the government with the state. And so Hezbollah has been very keen to point out that actually we are the state too. We are part of the state, you know? And so if Hezbollah were to resign, that would kind of feed into that whole narrative that it's the state versus Hezbollah, you know? So the idea is Hezbollah will remain in the state and consolidate its position in the state and try and confront this historic, you know, it really is a historic surrender agreement or alliance with Israel from within the state. And so that's how they're most likely to play it, I think. Yeah, I wanna, and of course, Joseph Aoun said on Wednesday, you know, that people need to stop characterizing it."
