Al-Julani vs. Hezbollah – Why This Gambit Is Destined to Fail

Assessment
A proposal reportedly backed by Donald Trump would task Syria's new leadership, under Ahmed al-Sharaa (Al-Julani), with neutralizing Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Watch for how Al-Julani responds publicly and whether the US pivots to other options if this approach stalls.
