The delay in implementing the government’s decisions, dealing with the file with excessive sensitivity, laxity in enforcing the law on the ground, and the failure to provide the necessary political cover for the security forces to implement the decisions. All these factors allowed this group, which is outside the law according to the government’s decisions, to persist, retain a surplus of power, and openly challenge the state. But the problem is not in the strength of Hezbollah or the forces of defiance as much as it is in the weakness of the state itself, which is still unable to impose its authority and implement its decisions on everyone.
