Details
A debate on Hezbollah’s role in Lebanon launched the third series of the Doha Debates on the 13th of September.
The group’s right to take military action on behalf of the country was the focus of the debate, which followed a month-long conflict between Israeli forces and Hezbollah during the summer. More than 1,000 Lebanese and 160 Israelis died during the fighting.
The Doha Debates audience supported Hezbollah’s right to take military action with just over 62 percent rejecting the motion: ‘This House believes Hezbollah had no right to fight as war on Lebanon’s behalf’.
