39. Hezbollah has nothing to do with a two state solution. They're a Lebanese proxy for Iran.

Sep 2024

They're main goal is to turn Lebanon into another Iran. (Lebanon is mandated to have a Christians, Sunni's, Druze and Shia's in a certain proportion of the government. So, I don't think they're having much luck with that)

Hezbollah started in 1982 to fight Israel in Lebanon, but a two state solution will not do anything about Hezbollah. They have been a major influence on Hamas, but they are not based on Gaza. They have infiltrated the West Bank, but they are based on Lebanon.

They blew up the US Marine barracks in 1982.

I think they mainly just want to terrorize Israel at this point.
