This channel seems informed, so I'm curious if anyone can help me better understand the relationship between Hezbollah and Lebanon.

Like is Hezbollah sanctioned by the government? Just sort of tolerated? Kind of seems weird that's there's like a war happening between Hezbollah and Israel inside Lebenon, but the Lebenon government is just kind of a bystander?

I don't understand how it works

Maybe I should have asked this as a reply  to you since I don't seem to get any 👀 posting directly in the channel.  

I've tried googling the question, but it feels very confusing and brings more questions.. like Hezbollah has prevented Lebenon from voting on a president since 2022? How is that possible? It sounds like a hostage situation? How can a minority terrorist organization just casually usurp a country's government?
