Israel Attacks Lebanon (12 July 2006-)
Opposition Demonstrations in Lebanon (1 December 2006-)
The political future of Lebanon came into question with the anti-government demonstrations that have been ongoing in downtown Beirut since December 1. The opposition, comprised largely of Hezbollah supporters and the secular Shiite Amal and Christian Aoun movements, are calling for the inclusion of more opposition posts in the cabinet or the resignation of Prime Minister Fouad Siniora. The Prime Mister's government, backed by the US, has not met the opposition's demands and has been met with mass strikes.
