Lebanon has become another Gaza - and the Israelis and the Saudis and Jordanians and Egyptians can't be happy

UNREAL: HIZBALLAH --- WHICH ASSASSINATED THE PREVIOUS PM OF LEBANON, THE FATHER OF THE CURRENT PM --- HAS NOW SELECTED THE NEWEST PM:

Hezbollah and its allies was poised Monday to form Lebanon’s next government, unleashing angry protests, realigning politics here and in parts of the Mideast and culminating the generation-long ascent of the Shiite Muslim movement from shadowy militant group to the country’s pre-eminent political and military force.

A practical impact may be the realignment of Lebanon away from the United States, which treated the government of Saad Hariri as an ally. Hezbollah and its own allies now have the votes to back as prime minister Najib Miqati, a billionaire and former prime minister. The government he forms may in the end look much like past cabinets in this small Mediterranean country and, indeed, Mr. Miqati struck a conciliatory tone, calling himself a consensus candidate.

But the symbolism of Hezbollah choosing the country’s prime minister was vast, potentially serving as the beginning of a new era for a combustible country whose conflicts have long entangled the United States, Iran, Syria and virtually every country in the region.

IT'S INSANE.
