## Prediction

Over 7 days, Hezbollah’s escalation against Israel amid Lebanon’s economic crisis is likely to catalyze cabinet fissures, possibly producing ministerial resignations or a reshuffle that further weakens governance. Non-Hezbollah factions will fear bearing blame for war-related destruction and lost external support, while Hezbollah resists any constraints on its operations, leading to policy paralysis on reforms and IMF engagement. As institutions stall, currency depreciation and capital flight will accelerate, reinforcing a feedback loop between political breakdown and economic misery. Confirmation would include resignations, failed cabinet meetings, and new currency lows; denial would be a demonstrably unified cabinet line supporting a negotiated de-escalation.

## Drivers

- Hezbollah’s rejection of peace plan and sustained attacks
- Existing severe Lebanese financial and economic crisis
- Violent incidents involving UN peacekeepers that heighten international scrutiny
